Fantastic results! Where can I learn more about the custom clock generator? Looking forward to updates!

Dang, was really hoping you were aware of a jumper combo for it.

How are you setting a 1:2/3 bus ratio on the LSD? I thought JP19 sets either 1:1 or 1:1/2. This assumption is based on an old thread, I’ve never measured it for certain.

Thanks. So, been staring at your numbers for some time. It looks like MS-4144 with 50MHz bus and 1Mb L2 cache produces basically the same results as LuckyStar LS-486E rev.D running with 256Kb L2 cache and 44Mhz bus (1:2/3 divider for fully stable system). If LSD runs with no bus divider numbers …

Latest VLB get! Love the looks of this one, especially the trace path leading to the VGA out, and maybe my first Number Nine card. Ticket To Ride! Lol. Does 16-bit color max out at 1024x768 on this chipset?

Reporting in that I was able to perform the PS2 Mouse mod provided by Feipoa on the MSI-4144 and it’s working perfectly. I’ve also been able to complete a Windows Install and pshipkov’s torture test on the fastest timings. One thing to note is that sometimes it won’t be stable when booting into …

Some good news, Windows detects new hardware on boot as a “PCI Multimedia device”. I’ve also reached out to a couple folks I believe were involved with the project, no responses yet however.

Success! I had clock and data reversed. It’s basically the same pin-out as the 4DPS so already had a ps2 adapter ready to go but for some reason I thought I needed to swap those two for this board. Toned it out and found out I was wrong lol. Those caps are so small they kept trying to align with the …

Or not, the capacitors I picked are dust sized 🤣. How do I go about picking the right size?

Yep, I can’t imagine performance being all that great. They probably took a look at the competition, namely 3dfx, and decided to can the project.

Just measure from L4 to 5 V and from L5 to 5 V. Assuming negligible impact from the KBC and inverter IC, if L4 to 5 V measures 4.7-10K and L5 to 5 V measures 4.7-10K, then those resistors should be in place. if you get some weird measurement, let me know and I'll pull my board and measure these …

So you guys might not believe this, not sure I do 🤣, I managed to find one of these. Now to test and try and track down any demos or drivers. It’s gonna be a long shot but I’m going to contact anyone I can track down involved.
