@Shreddoc VSAs can be found here, and these are the cheapest: https://www.ebay.com/itm/323658511158?_skw=355-0026-220&itmmeta=01J7JQ4GN3X2W5JHVS3T8H3APC&hash=item4b5b8cf336:g:XQoAAOSwlkpcRLEU&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKk6fwhC65QfHNmX2OYuQZLUXdXo1CXVUximMiVKb8qxcyNK9i2BYfLsb% …

@Spitz :D Thanks! I'll let you know. At the moment mostly everything works fine, there are just a number of minor issues to address: 1. In aprox. 1 in 300 boots, at system start-up, the microcontroller for whatever reason triggers the laptop's thermal trip. 2. I need to tweak the FPGA timings a bit, …

@havli Yes, the datecodes were a nice surprise 😀 @ratfink It is possible. To me it looks like metal fatigue, the IC wasn't bumped/twisted/hit etc. It looked pristine. Weird fault really, I haven't ever seen something like this.

@Eivind Thank you! Great work on your projects as well! I do plan to opensource it, I just need to take care of some minor things, but that implies tearing down the laptop again to mess with the MCU and FPGA firmware. At the moment I use the laptop for gaming, just finished HL on it :) 1. How hard …

Proper 16-bit color support? Can you be a bit more specific? Impressing, where did you find it? A Pci express s3 card WOW I found it on ebay. 17500 points in 3DM01 is not bad. That's about the same performance as a 5800 Ultra or a Radeon 9700. Any idea what a competitor from the same time scores? I …

I don't have a list for that specific card (since I don't have one..) but those caps are usually 100nF and 10nF. Position and actual value is not that important, especially when replacing with modern caps. The card should work without those caps though, maybe it would be somewhat unstable, but it …

Card3: While initially this was the only somewhat working card, it took the longest to fix. S2.jpg Output looked like this: 20240818_231755.jpg As on the other cards, I disabled SLI. The issue was still present, although it looked a little better. The major pain repairing this was that the problem …

I will make a couple more MXM 3.0 cards (a V3 and something more powerful than the V4 M4800), after that I will look into making some PCMCIA/Cardbus cards. I don't know if this can be done somewhat easily, as I couldn't find any PCMCIA-PCI bridge ICs, only the other way around. If no such ICs exist, …
