I found pics on Google and can't see the difference hmmm is it only bios or something ? The differene is in memory and core clock, but you can probably …

I know it looks nice and beautiful seeing it in this kind of a unique, never seen before view/condition 😁 Not very happy really but hey. Now I need to dig in my old collection of hardware and find something nice as a replacement 😀

Mine froze as it had a bad Ram chip attached to the FBI. I could get it working by limiting the ram available to 1MB. In autoexec.bat You can try disabling the TMU or FBI chip and limiting the memory to each to 0, 1, 2MB. i would first try disabling the TMU as tomb raider will work with no …

The board seem to have had some rough time, so it might be good to check for broken lines where you have scrape marks. Checking for loose pins on the larger chips are also a thing, sometimes one cannot see an open solder pad connection easily. (I sometimes listen for loose pins/pad solder by softly …

Another try......this time on old 14 inch crt monitor. Started tomb raider demo under dos and this is the screen I got 😀 Next try will be installing sound card to check if can get any sound from game. Got an old sound blaster 16 vibra or something like that. Maybe in a week time or so.

Are you using a pass through or manually changing the VGA cable to the voodoo's VGA-out? Are the games running? For example, do you hear any game noise when you get the blank screen? Does your LCD support the resolution mode of 512x384? That is the lowest default mode voodoo will start with iirc …

Ok, I did a test on Tomb Raider for 3dfx in dos. Instalation went fine. When I started demo my screen went straight into suspend mode. In this case it seems like there I no signal from voodoo to the monitor. I did some voltage measurements on ramdac and ramdac has its 5 Volts on input and crystal …

It's for the pc speaker connector on the motherboard. You don't have to use it. I doesn't make sense for me. This card already has buzzer on pcb so why someone would want to connect it to external speaker ? Hmmm maybe for better beep sound quality :-) It has a buzzer on the pcb that is not …
