Have you tried an FCC-ID lookup? That had given me a lot of hints to get on with more specific searching. When dealing with old nameless hardware.

Been trying to install a Creative Video Blaster MP400 (CT:6080) ISA card. It's a full size MPEG-1 encoder/decoder ISA card, that requires both loopback cable and VGA-Passthrough internally. When this P166 is installed with Windows98, I will have a nice little CD-I machine. Combined with an AWE64- …

Another thing that struck me, when running eighter my CL-5446-pci or my #9-S3-pci, is that the image is more retro-like on the CL. The S3 is really clean, high quality signal, lots of brightness and sharp. The CL is somewhat less contrasty-bright and more rounded. Don't know how to explain it. Just …

Well.... Personally, I prefer CL as a VL-Bus card. Though I have had no issues at all, using a CL-5446-Pci. Just be aware, that games sometimes want Univesa to be loaded, and sometimes not. No big issue.

Stunts 3D (was that 4d?) Stuntcar Racer. Lemmings 1 and all the holliday editions. Testdrive 1 and 2. Ports Of Call. …

Been testing two motherboards, and put them up for sale.... Sad to see them go, just that I have no real use for them at the moment. It is better to have them go to someone that will use them and have a good time.

Well... To get back on the track. I would say that there are allways some rich dude, using all his time on making money, that just want to pay for things to get done. And just want something ready playable to sweeten his valueable sparetime.

Or people who've done it before and know what a pain in the ass it is with certain items, and the difficulties/expenses incurred with small amounts of (legally restricted) chemicals that keep for a limited length of time. :) True... True.... For the legal part of that chemical aspect. I say up …

Well.... If you look for the answer, to why I do not want to pay for it. Then it's all there. Answer plus reason. It seems as my answer was not fully understood. And yes. I know people who thinks that computer tech are some sort of black voodoo magic. Perhaps you know where I am going with this. : …

You could allways delete the drivers, and start all over. Using the set of files, found at phil's computerlab. I was just referring to a quick and easy way of changing settings if you so desired in the future. If the problem is the PNP software that are broken, then it would be the fastest way, just …

Matrox/S3/CL + V1 is a better choice....

Just to be shure.... Locate the file, named something like CTPNP.CFG and open it with a text editor. In there, you can manually edit the settings. (Such as IRQ and DMA's) You really do not need diagnose or something like this, if you only want to change settings.

What a night.... Too much to drink. So much that I began getting headaches before I was sober. Waited two hour's in pain, in the biting cold for the first bus to start operating in 2016. My girl and I was at this rock-bar, drinking. Nearly all that was there, were alternatives in their lifestyle. …
