On 486 machine: When booting from floppy drive, it detects cd-rom drive properly. When booting from Seagate 80GB drive that is formatted as 8GB, it won't detect cd-rom drive in both Windows 98 and DOS (using VIDECDD.SYS). NSSI shows CD-Rom, so BIOS detects it. Any clues why this happens? When I boot …

It is there, but copying to NFS II SE directory is not enough. Can you look at it, please?

It would be cool if Asus 3d glasses …

Not good for retrogaming, compiled with SSE2, does not run on Pentium III with SSE. Same with latest ACE. So I'm currently creating Vogons Classic UT99 server and it will work down to Win98.

Got it. I took monitor from scrape yard and it had VGA connector cut. I can only guess which wire is 4, 11, 12 pin 😁 ...but I will try something else. Thank you!

Yes, I understand. This monitor is color and does not support 1024x768. I will need to somehow identify its pins on PCB while it is being powered on...maybe I did something wrong because it won't switch to 800x600, which is VGA standard. Maybe Blue should not be V Sync....but I did measure it.

This J101 connector goes to PCB board on monitor. The PCB connector has labels: T H V B G R. The "T" has offset position, perhaps it is a label of connector itself and does not have any meaning. All others H V B G R always contain two pins. One for signal, one for ground. At least that is the …

The monitor is old analog VGA only, 640x480, no 800x600. KVM does not identify monitor because monitor does not have DDC. I tried two Aten KVM's. One very old for AT DIN - 4 ports and one modern USB - 8 ports, both allow the monitor to sync properly. Monitor has only RGB,VH pins connected to VGA …

GPU is Tseng ET4000/W32P for VLB Some info I found: https://archive.org/details/tseng-labs-et4000 … age/n9/mode/2up ...I am not using any Monitor ID pins on VGA on monitor that is not working (I simply cut the wires inside the cable) ....does this Tseng need something more than R,G,B,V,H ?
