The AV.io HD most likely is also supported by my alignment tool, as it is based on the same driver backend.

MAZter wrote on 2020-04-24, 20:13: 720x400 is vesa resolution, correct? 720x400 is not a VESA resolution as VESA just defines a 80x25 text mode, but no 720x400 graphics mode.

You should also review the offset/gain setting. In the third screenshot with the DOS prompt the background should be black and in the fourth screenshot the white should be white...

https://www.matrox.com/graphics/media/pdf/support/manuals/en_mac2.pdf The tables on page 9 list the differences. If the OP has a 12 MB version it would be interesting to know what the maximum refresh rate at 1440x1080 at 32 bit color depth is as it is lower as the one given in the table for 8/16 …

Just some things to check: The ST3120A works on another computer? So the drive is jumpered master (4th jumper away from the power connector closed) ? The cable is connected correctly with red to pin 1 and red towards the power connector of the drive? The drive is connected at the end of the cable? …

My second IBM PS/2 Model 80

Hello, so I recently acquired a IBM PS/2 Model 80. The computer was just tested that it shows something when switched on. Additional cards came in another packet, incl. a second mainboard, memory cards, a ESDI HDD and a IBM Model M keyboard. The second packet was thrown? and the keyboard had three …
Re: MCA Adlib card -- just need pictures

Another update We identified an issue in combination with memory expansion cards that use the MCA feature Matched Memory Cycle. Most memory cards use this feature for optimal transfer speed. The issue appears when data is read from the OPL2 and randomly locks up communication with the card. To …
Re: COLORImage ET4000/W32i VLB card

Looks similar like my card from Cardex: http://retronn.de/imports/hwgal/hw_et4000_w32i_vlb.html It is one of the faster ones, however with 0 WS it won't run with much more than 33 MHz VLB. I tried several cards on my Nexgen with 42 MHz VLB and some S3 VLB card cope better with higher frequencies at …
Re: SVGA minimum RAM?
Posted on 2020-03-09, 09:50
The OPs question is a bit misleading. What Super VGA means was never really put into a standard and in common sense it means all modes that go beyond VGA standard, most notable 800x600 resolution. A lot of early VGA cards (like the Paradise PVGA1A) are capable of 800x600 at 16 colors at e.g. 56 Hz …
Re: PCI Video cards benchmark: Electric Boogaloo Edition
Posted on 2020-03-02, 10:05
The red background for resolutions where your TFT shows "out of range" is a bit misleading as it looks like the card is failing. I would suggest some neutral grey for these cells. As you did not mention that you used any refresh utilities to fix that I guess the actual meaning is that the BIOS of …

Here is some update from me. Eric sent me a Plaid Bib CPLD Edition and (after 11 days being stuck at customs) it finally arrived today. It works in my Model 80. The only very minor issue I noticed is that sometimes after exiting Windows for Workgroups 3.11 the card gives loud noise until …

Thats very good news and very good work. 👍 I have a Model 80 PS/2 and I'am interested to get one of the Plaid Bib cards. Though my soldering skills are rather basic. Is someone going to produce some cards (ready to plug)? I would compensate the efforts.

I also find the dotted line box that appears around e.g. the Quick Reply, Notifications (when opened), Choose thread page drop down (when opened) etc. irritating as it is offset and not fitting to anything else shown. When in a thread I think the thread page navigation on top right/bottom right is …

Do you know anything about the i740 chipset revision differences? Was the daughterboard with Realmagic EM8220 the only one released or were there also versions with better decoder chips?

Quite dubious store. It is identical to https://www.vgastore.com/vesa-local-bus and fails to implement their certificates properly. Also shipping cost of ~$120 ?!?
