Re: OS/2 2.X won't boot on 486.

It's the Floppy version of 2.1, and actually doesn't give any error at all. Anyone got a source for a CD version 2.0/2.1?

I mean I was able to boot the floppy- the OS/2 installer- on a Pentium 2 system. The same one used on the 486 The 3.5 drive is indeed A:\ and I do have that and a 5.25 on B:\
What in the holy hell is this DC in socket?

I had problems with System Shock 2 not seeing EAX under ME, but it did under 98SE. Might've been a drivers thing though because I've seen the /opposite/ as well.

I don't run Windows on it so the should be just fine, and it does have only 1 meg installed. According to Wintune 2.0 benches I found here the S3 805 based card shoooould be twice as fast? We shall soon see.

When I say won't boot, I mean the INSTALL floppy will start to be read, and then... nothing. Generally I'd just pass it off, but this is really bugging me- I wanted to muck around with it on period correct hardware. So I ask- what are some troubleshooting options for this version? Google isn't being …

So can anyone confirm it's faster than a mach32 and soothe my worries?

Vendors have always loved putting cheap ram- and lots of it- into low end cards to inflate their percieved value. 512MB Geforce 6200, etc.

Google tells me the 133A is the better version and also supports 4X? I suppose I can benchmark it once I have it against the CUSL.

I get the cost cutting thing but the vibra was already a thing, although when I consider this allows OEMs to lie about an "AWE64" and not pay for the actual AWE parts hmm.

I legitmately like how this looks.
Re: What sounds cards do I have here?
Posted on 2017-05-01, 22:53
That's... really odd. Why would anyone ship an AWE64 with the AWE removed? Why not just use a vibra... and it has the same CT number. Did someone /remove/ those parts? E: I've never seen a AWE64 CT4520 that's neutered

Dual CPU board, Slot 1, Via Apollo 133A chipset. I've had... issues with Via chipsets in the past- most notably I outright stopped using my TUV4X because it was a pain in the ass to get Voodoo 2 SLi working to any meaningful degree. So I ask you, Vogonites, would it be worth persuing this? The …

Thanks! Side question: this uh, is faster than a Mach32 right? I basically got it free but I'm gonna be pretty dissapointed if this doesn't make Doom 2 playable at good settings.

VESA utilities and such for DOS, and Win 3.11 drivers, maybe NT 3/3.5. E: On this note, the Mach32 has a utility to change DOS mode refresh reates which is /amazing/ for playing Doom or whatever. Is there a way to do this for other cards via a generic utlity or something?

Dated correctly? If so, honestly a Riva128 or TNT1 is nice, they have good DOS support and can cover the D3D holes the Voodoo doesn't do well at. I actualy use a Geforce 2 with mine and relegate the Voodoo 2 to glide only games.

I bought this card recently- and god I am hoping I'm right that it's better than a Mach32- and I had a look on the driver library just now... I don't see any. It's an SC 805 based card- perhaps there's generic drivers that would work?
