Ooooh Tank Wars 😁 I usually use that for basic hardware testing on pre-486 machines (as I did last week with the old ass laptop I pulled out of the junk). Quite a cool game.
Re: Which Vesa Local Bus graphics card?
Posted on 2011-02-24, 14:55
I'd like to find a Mach64 VL-Bus card myself. I've seen a Mach32 once in a while at outrageous prices but never saw a Mach64 VL-Bus card ever. There are Mach32 VLB cards being sold on eBay Israel (!) for 6€ per piece and recently one was sold on German eBay for 7€ (actually came in second in that …

long story short ... i expect captainrolly to be some other sound card collector I briefly know, doing some _severe_ profiteering, as the guy I'm meaning just recently got a LAPC for $100 bucks (I actually messaged that guy to let me "step up" as it was a listing over at craigslist, with me being …

oops ... thought that one was for free. Anyways, this is from the Pro Audio Studio (which is basically a PAS16 with more software added) ... using that one myself. http://rapidshare.com/files/449559779/1.zip

*bump* Where'd one put the Mach32 and Mach64 along the cards already named? 1) S3 Trio64 2) Tseng ET4000 W32 3) S3 928 4) Cirrus Logic 5426 5) Cirrus Logic 5428 Also feel free to extend the list, as I'm currently looking for a decent card for my DX2 ... I've got to admit my overlook on gfx card for …

Wieso einfach wenn's auch schwer geht 😉 Certainly an interesting way of switching the clock speed. If you still need spare SRAMs let me know ... I have 3 sets of 8 chips each sitting here unused (256k).
Re: 386 Mainboard and Number Nine GXiTC

Most of the later 386 and 486 boards (not all) just used the standard 28-pin SRAMs for tags. I have a very high end VLB/EISA 486 motherboard that unfortunately used THREE non-standard SRAMs for tag chips. They were all 20ns. Several years later I managed to find 12ns replacements. Been there ... …

From what I gathered TAG-RAM is a completely different chip family (and concept) compared to Cache SRAMs I thought these were exactly the same? Like I said, I'm not exactly familiar there. But from what I gathered cache SRAM saves actual values, while TAG-RAM saves adresses where those values are …

I recently bought a 386 mainboard with an SIS chipset. The curious thing is that it has 64 kB L2 Cache with 8x MT 5C6408-20 chips and twice the same chip as Tag RAM - and the board runs uncached. While I'm not exactly familiar with the applied concept of TAG-RAM, shouldn't those chips be of a …

If all else fails, there are ISA based ET4000 and Mach64 cards. Those have a good reputation for ISA cards ... the later is damn rare tho.

Quite easy. The hidden below - was announced as _the_ Doom-Killer from Germany in the press ... and ended up being a slightly updated Operation: Bodycount clone.
