Mmmmmmm I downloaded the HP BIOS package and the BIOS file is 256KB in size, but the ASUS BIOS file is only 128KB. Can you check the model number of the flash chip? How do you do this ? I believe Pflash.exe will do this trick, but first I must find the program. And I'll find it, but right now my …

Wait. What about the Flash writer? I read something about in the manual and ASUS is failing on me, again. Damn. 🤣 🤣 I read the manual. Its called Pflash.exe. Well, this one should be easier, but I really got to go. I'll come back. The sooner, the better 😁

Bullseye. 😎 Let's get to it. Moving the file from my main HD (no IDE ports) --> USB stick (no boot from USB ports in that big fellow) --> CF card and finally to the chip. I should be more careful in my research.

- Frasco steals from Descent95! I'm sorry, but I really got to raise the bar and put my TX97-VX on top fighting form and performance. Did some service on it and now the Ancient Behemoth is running nicely and glowing (at least in my eyes). During the wonderful time I noticed a K6-2/533Mhz (Hey, …

Drivers ? Have you updated Diagnose to 4.05 and AWEUTIL to 1.36 or better ? Loose canon ! 😀 But this saved me once.

No problem. Now that you said IRQ, you really want to use your card in Port 220h IRQ 5 (default). You can do it using CTCU.EXE or BIOS. running "diagnose" everything is detected the way it should Does diagnose play MIDI from your AWE32 or from your daughterboard ? To tell you the truth, I 'm a …

Hi there... I also have one and I was just talking about it and although mine doesn't have a wavetable connector, believe me, I know what the hell I am talking about. For AWE32 General MIDI, you have to do some changes in Autoexec.bat. I'll prevent you: This card is already filled with bugs and …

If I leave all the pins on J14 open, would that disable the LMSI connector and keep it from using up an IRQ? I don't think so. I have this very card and it is jumpered just like yours (IRQ 6 for SCSI CD-ROM). I don't know. Maybe it is just a coincidence. Yeah, divide 1,8Mb (1,0Mb and 0,8Mb). It's …

But how can I get those memories ? 4Mb modules (30 pins) are hard enough to find. Besides we are talking about DOS games. Ah, sorry for the steal. That's my last intervention.

You are not the first to tell me about this benefit. When my friend said something about installing RAM, I imediatelly discounted it. 😊 I have two modules of 1Mb and two of 4Mb. What you say ?

My right channel is back after 17 years. I was too scared (never did it before) and I had some minor problems. The solder wasn't going in the right place, so I used a small cooper wire and finally the solder slipped in the crack. And then the multimeter beeped continuity. I was like: Fantastic! So …

A7N8X are great boards when working. A little fussy about memory, but then so are most other nforce 2 boards (except for the Abit AN7 - that runs anything). If you're having trouble with it replace the ram. True dat. This must happens due to onboard graphics. Just my luck I did think about changing …

"Scope": oscilloscope "TO92 5V regulator": yes, a small three legged component like a transistor, but with markings like 7805 or 7905 (possibly another component number, since I haven't checked my CT3600 yet) 7805. Thanks for your readness. Total safety now! Uh...Oscilloscope. Kinda like a …

could be a broken solder joint. That's something I would try. If you have a solder iron, heat up every solder joint. I did this with a non-working GUS PnP and it came back to life :) My SB32 CT3670 has a broken solder in the speaker out connector. I can see it (big crack) and the connector is loose …
