I didn't pay attention to that, sorry. The IBM models of that time that I know are very curious, for example you can find a 300GL with a pentium mmx and a 300GL with a pentium ii. I can't find a newer bios. Maybe the version is different because it is for Germany? It's a guess, I don't know.

If I remember correctly, you have to program the bios with a rom with another language. In a quick search I came across this. http://ps-2.kev009.com/pcpartnerinfo/ctstips/5b1a.htm

I have a single 64mb sdram module with 32 chips like the one shown in this thread https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=87072, they are rare to see, in my case the chips are marked by IBM, it comes from an IBM PC 300gl with 430vx chipset, in this computer it works perfectly but on another …

It is simple matter of supply and demand, right? if something that people want is rare the price goes up. Yes, the law of supply and demand prevails in many things, and in this and other cases it depends on how much value the buyer gives it, not the seller. If you are a collector, then you pay …

One reason is simply this discussion, without anyone giving enough importance to the value of something, that something has no value. And a rational value is not always applied to things. I think it is not rational to pay the same for an article from twenty years ago as for a new one. Reason, lack …

These days have been tedious testing different drivers, from drivers for Rage Pro to Drivers for AGP versions... the result, sad. The driver best for me is m6.12.12 Z, but unfortunately Opengl does not work with this driver, the best thing about this driver is a complete control panel, I could not …

I tried to program it in the eeprom but it won't start, it doesn't give an image, the same problem the …

Between yesterday and today I accumulated a great deal of anger with these two pci graphics cards that I have. First, I am sure that they do not pass any quality control, second, after many tests I have doubts that they are working by default at the 83mhz frequency. Taking into account benchmarks …

This method can be used on any 486 motherboard that doesn't have the 3.3v voltage regulator components and should be plenty powerful for any socket 3 compatible processor. It will surely have its problems but I haven't run into any yet.

The bios of the ati agexl pci and the ati rage xl agp have one interesting difference, I've opened then on an hex editor and compared, and one of the first differences is what I think is the id string, (MACH64GRPCIMTSDUN8) for the pci and (MACH64GMPCIMTSDUN8) GR is 4752 hex and GM is 474D hex.

At the moment with the information I have about the Chinese Rage XL PCI.... Well, there are several details that differentiate it and one of them is the BIOS, from what little I understand it is quite different from the original ATI PCI. I haven't gotten 3DCIF to work either, the only thing I've …

I wish you luck fixing it, because even if they are cheap, it's a shame that it didn't work. I'm also going to buy two more cards soon because I have a dual PIII 1Ghz that only has pci-x and pci, so any good card for it it's expensive, and another Pmmx 200 with a Matrox Mystique 220, the Mystique is …

Hi, I know that this post is a year old, and sorry for reviving it, but I want to share the method I used to add the 3,3v CPU support, and don't want to create a new post because this one is very complete.

I'm very sorry that the bios files didn't work for you, it's a shame. I imagine that in the case of the original PCI version of ati, which seems to work perfectly on old equipment, they used a system similar to the one I use, using only the 5v of PCI and a mosfet is for the 2.5v and another for the …
