I would also look into any eeprom chips as well if any. I have a card (not ess) that flakes out and i have to rewrite the eeprom to fix it.

Re: BFG Geforce 7300 GT 512 mb performance issues
Posted on 2022-02-23, 18:43
Originally i was using 307.83 which was released on 2013.2.26 for the 6200. I initially just did a swap for the 7300 which should also be supported by 307.83. But it showed the bad performance. Then is was suggested to use an older driver which i tried 93.71, with same results. So im guessing part …

6200: https://i.imgur.com/JUiOzfl.gif 7300 GT: https://i.imgur.com/jV5ihOf.gif Didnt spot anything strange, but it does confirm the 6200 memory at 266 like was suspected earlier. Edit: tried a driver cleaner and reinstalled 93.71 still stuck at 36 fps. I might try the card in my older athlon 1.2 ghz …

checked in multiple locations and the aperture agp memory is 256 mb. Ive messed around with the bios settings and nothing helps there either. its a shuttle sk21g, so the page below says VIA K8M800CE + VT8237R+ https://global.shuttle.com/products/productsS … ec?productId=85

Tried 91.31 and the installer quit saying it couldnt find a device. I did notice i had 93.71 on the pc and ive installed that still only getting 35 fps on the q3 demo. Ive tried to find something that actually would confirm its in a PCI mode but i dont see it. I only see it reporting the AGP speed. …

I have a xp system with athlon 64 3400+ that ive been running a geforce 6200 256 mb card in. Ive been wanting to try to upgrade it a little bit and i thought i found a card that could. I came across a 7300 GT card and all the searching i did seem to suggest it was an upgrade. Its also in a shuttle …
Re: UNISOUND - Universal ISA PnP Sound Card Driver for DOS v0.77a
Posted on 2022-02-19, 22:39
yeah i understand it as 2 separate sets of autoexe.bat/config.sys so when the pif is run it switches out the windows 98 set of files and when you go back to windows mode the files are switched again. I dont think you can only have one set unless you made the contents the same. So if your in windows …

You should be able to edit the pif within windows. Go to the right tab (i think its program..). You will see a texbox section for each file. You could either REM the dosstart line or delete it completely. Your situation sounds really strange cause i think ive even edited the autoexec.bat/config.sys …

personally I wouldn't mind a DB15 pin connector and some stereo plug jack. The DB15 could actually be more convenient with a chill adapter any waveblaster type board could be attached. I was assuming the other connector would be like one of the single card width ones like modems/network cards might …

are you trying to make the cable match the ibm one? Maybe if possible just make it with more modern connectors?

the promise controller can be disabled from the bios. I am only running a cf adapter and dvd drive and the other controller was also UDMA 100 capable, plus the promise detection slows down the bootup. I think the only reason it really would be needed is for a RAID configuration.

one thing you might consider is it possible to have thermal runaway with some of these chips (I pretty sure i cooked my original Tbird 1.2 Ghz when i had the cpu fan off. Thankfully it was cheap to replace) i think this was resolved with the XP series.

yeah im aware that the bios isnt the best. I did already use my multimeter on the 5 V and 12 V. I know i can check vcore off the socket, but im not sure if id catch anything wrong since the problem occurs during boot. I didnt measure any of the atx lines, but i probably should. the 300 watt supply …

the pentium 200 is back in and seems stable again. The power voltages still off by 0.1 V. im not sure whats going on and i have reached the point of thinking to check electrolytic caps.
