Hello everyone, A while ago, I happened upon a listing for this strange Voodoo 2. It was designed for Macs, which makes sense given the DB15 connector for video output. At first, I was a bit put off by this strangeness and the lack of a bracket for said card that I just about moved on, but I ended …

My apologies for the delay. I unfortunately don't have much in the way of documentation, but here's what I've found: Drivers are attached below Jumpers are available here Generic BIOS, photos, and some more info are here on Vlask's site

I was speaking with a group of people on TRW’s discord server and we were rehashing this idea. It seems to me from talking to various members of this forum and from all that I’ve read that some sort of SMP or AMP with non-Intel logic is the only way to approach this. I think mR_Slug is absolutely …

An unusual VL-Bus card with NCR77C22E+ from 1992 https://dependency-injection.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/DSC_1778-2048x1152.jpeg I've only seen this one on a ISA card before. Awesome card right there! The ISA 77C22E non-plus is quite fast, matching the Tseng ET4000AX. I'd be curious to see how …

I hate to necro this thread, but I just recently put together a build with a VC820 and was attempting to use an ESS Solo-1 with SB-LINK. I've tried installing the card in Win98SE and using it in DOS, but I have had the same issue, and even in Windows DOS boxes it doesn't seem to work for DOS games. …

Glad it worked! I also have had a great experience with that seller in Korea and I have only heard good things about him. I wanted to source a non-modded Tualatin along with the adapter in two separate non-assembled parts (long story), and he was happy to oblige . Additionally, his prices have …

BIG UPDATE I heard from the Korean eBay seller and, indeed, he provided me with a working, Tualatin-compatible BIOS update. He's a really nice fellow and seems super helpful. I can wholeheartedly say that I am glad to have bought one of his pre-modded CPUs. It works great and, until now, it's been …

Are you referring to the Korean eBay seller? If so, I just messaged them and gave him my order date and number. I really hope he has this BIOS because I would absolutely love to use this pin-modded Tualatin on the VC820. It’s a fantastic, stable, and really well-made board. yes. he should help u …

Now this is a plot-twist! I haven’t given up, and it seems that someone has indeed got this board going with a Tualatin! As to how, well, I’m not sure. I’ve messaged them and will keep all those interested informed as to my findings. Interestingly, their COU-Z readout denotes the bios as version “. …

Same here! I was tinkering with P18 earlier and no dice. I’ll keep you posted on a response, if I get one. It seems this is possible but I just don’t quite get how! I did some reading, and it seems Intel AMI BIOSes aren’t generally modifiable. This is peculiar indeed…

Sorry I never got back to you! Thank you! I appreciate the help, but if it's too much, no worries. I am not in a rush either. I am just curious as to whether I can get this board fully configured!

Here a man from Korea sells a modified Celeron Tualatin. https://www.ebay.com/itm/281931957654?hash=item41a4744596:g:c8gAAOSwqhFgXwQ0 Supported motherboards include Intel VC820, But there is a note: New bios is FREE!!

Hello all, I recently came into possession of an ASUS P3C-E, which is something that I’ve been looking for over the past while. It’s a wonderful board, and it works great; I was fortunate to find one that looks almost brand new! My board is PCI-only, and I was wondering if it’s possible to add the …

I wonder what chipset the UMC480 could be a clone of? Perhaps the OPTi 491/493? I wonder if this lends any credence to the theory that some chipsets are just GAL chips made by Toshiba, like the PCCHIPS SARC ones?

While this may only be tangentially relevant to this thread, I think it's worth adding, nonetheless. I have had an FX-3000 motherboard for a while, and when I first received the board swapped the EPROM for an EEPROM loaded with the UMC480's corresponding MR-BIOS. I recently came across the original …
