You need disable onboard VGA (S3 I think?), it is jumper J23 - pins 2-3 enabled, 1-2 disabled. You can download manual here: https://www.manualslib.com/products/Digital-E … dx-9032719.html

@criz_me: I'm sorry about the offtopic, but I have the same mouse as you - Primax and I can't run it in DOS 6.22. If you have it working under this OS, could you please write down what driver you're using? It would be very helpful, thank you.

...I will use it on a socket 7, probably in a TX or VX, or in a VIA VPX.... That's exactly why I used to buy Rage Pro LT, only the boards were with SiS chipsets (PC Chips M590 and Asus P/I P55SP4) and unfortunately, no picture. The card itself is functional, it works without problems on other …

I don't know, if can be damaged the board directly, but in the case of another pinout, the device (usually the mouse) does not work correctly or even doesn't work at all..

(Not gonna lie, paying for a P4 in 2021 feels weird) Really, it looks a little perverse :) But seriously - I also think it will work without a problem, and Cedar Mill (and Pressler), thanks to 65nm technology, at least raised a bit of the flag Pentium 4. There was nothing they could do about …

I cannot say, how it will be in this case, but I myself operate Pressler D935 on Gigabyte 8I865GME-775-RH rev.1.x, which is not listed in supported CPU and everything works without problems. In the line to the Russian forum, the user describes the full functionality of Cedar Mill on the P5GD1 board, …

Doornkaat is an expert, I know very little about such old PCs. If I remember correct, you can't only fit 2 SIMM slots, but either all 4 or nothing. For 32-bit CPUs (of which 486 are) the memory bank consists of 4 slots and the memory bank must always be fully occupied in order to function. So you …
Re: Question regarding Memory on pcchips m577
Posted on 2021-04-20, 07:03
In some cases, there is a layer of oxidation on the contacts of memory modules, thanks to which the board does not detect them. Then it helps to wipe contacts with ordinary pencil rubber (rubber eraser).

Re: Hot EMU8000
Posted on 2021-04-08, 16:20
Thank you all. Anyway, the card's working fine so far, so I'll leave the passive radiator and see. Interestingly, the PCB coloration is only on the back and not around the EMU8000 chip from the front. At first I wondered, if there might have been some other hot chip, that would have turned the PCB …
Re: Question about Slot 1 Pentium III

As the paradigital says, move the buckle to the left and take off and then push on the pins, the radiator falls off. There's aluminum foil on the core. On Voodoo you can screw a small chipset fan directly onto the radiator, without removing and powered by 5V from the molex is both quiet and …
Re: Deskmaster 486 Cache...

BIOS reports 8 MB of memory, right? The manual states, that you can upgrade memory up to 36 MB using 8 slots and 4 MB modules. This means, that 4 MB of memory should be soldered on board as a basic configuration with empty SIMM slots. So if you have 4 MB on the board and the system reports 8 MB with …
Re: Hot EMU8000
Posted on 2021-04-06, 16:22
Thank you for your input. Yes, it is IC405A. The card was originally installed in the lowest ISA slot in a small AT case and I'm afraid the airflow there was zero (no case fan) - so is it possible,that there was local overheating? Or is it still an abnormal condition? Then what could have caused it …
Hot EMU8000
Posted on 2021-04-05, 09:14
On the back of the SB32 sound card I see a visible change in the colour of the PCB caused by the heat load from the EMU8000 chip. The chip was very warm to the touch, so I fitted it with at least a passive radiator with hot-conducting adhesive tape. I mean, is this heat load normal or is there …
Re: No power to CD Rom (486)
Posted on 2021-03-28, 10:53
If the CD-ROM does not react when connected to the power supply (4 pin), there will be a problem in the mechanics. You can check the voltage in the power connector with a multimeter (5+12V). As for the IDE connector on the sound card, some are equipped with a proprietary connector and the standard …
