Just wanted to say thanks again, got my 4DPS 2.1 running! Used an Intel chip that showed up first.

She’s alive! Does this card have seperate DMA channels for 8bit and 16bit? Just looking at the sound setup in Duke 3d and realizing I’ve only set one DMA channel on the card. Which Sound Blaster emulation setting would be best? No, this card does not use a 16-bit DMA channel. Creative Labs …

This is a great list! I think a 66Mhz 486 will serve you well. Honestly you might try buying a working OEM system on eBay to get up an running quickly unless you enjoy the whole build process and frustrations that come along with it. And if you do I think you’re in the right place!

What software or games are you wanting to enjoy? That would help narrow things down.

I’m also on this boat lol. I’ve tried a few different firmware versions and Windows isn’t finding a ps/2 mouse port to install. I can’t find an option in the bios to enable/disable the ps/2 port, not sure if there would be. But even without a mouse connected, Windows should be able to find a ps/2 …

It’s working on the POD now! I left the cpu jumpers in place for the 5x86 and reinstalled the POD and now I’m running stable for almost an hour. This is a Lucky Star LS486e board, I think revision c. Seeing 22.5fps on Timedemo 1, no sound. I really need to find out what these jumpers do.

Thank you! This gives me quite a bit to dig into!
Can anyone recommend a cooling solution from Amazon for an AMD 5x86?
Posted on 2020-08-07, 23:25
Was thinking about trying a 40x40mm heat sink with a thermal adhesive pad since there are no clips to mount to on a socket 3. Maybe a 5v 40mm Noctua fan? If there is something better please let me know, would like to run the chip at 160mhz.

Moved the 220 back to the socket 3 board and replaced the POD for an AMD 5x86 and it appears to be running without issue although I need a proper cooler for this CPU to know for sure. Very interesting!

Where might I find some info around jumper settings for this board? Some but not all are printed on the pcb.

I went digging. Here's a particularily rare old version of VQuake the googles can't find. Thanks for the find! Might I ask what's special about it? Any speed or visual improvements? On my typical SiS 160MHz 486 VQuake is significantly less speedy than Voodoo1+GLQuake. Can't cope well with 640x480 …

I was able to get Tomb Raider running after disabling sound, otherwise it would crash immediately to a garbled screen. Swapped the card into a slot 1 machine and it appears to be working fine with vquake! 30fps on timedemo 1 at 720x480. Smooth enough for me and I really like the video quality. I …

So I noticed the card was quite hot and decided to a put some make shift cooling on it. Now I’ve been able to keep it running for a bit longer, almost a minute once. I think there may be an issue with this card. Anyone else come across this?

Patched the dmatest.exe with the v2dosfix and got the following results.
