None of the capacitors seems bulged and there are not that many jumpers on this mainboard. Any clue would be welcome... Capacitors cannot be declared ok just by optical inspection because not all defects are visible to the naked eye. While an optical inspection can reveal certain types of defects, …

Another quite new discovery for me was that apparently ESP32 is 5V tolerant. And actually LPT doesn't give 5V signals but little under 5V. So I soldered dupont cables to LPT-connector and connected them directly to ESP32 pinheader. For straighforward audio output I2S DAC is easiest. some later …

At least its worth to try it, it provides additional 2 3,3V Power Lines and one 5V Power Line. The Voodoo 2 should only use 5V from Slot as far as i know. It has own Voltage Regulator onboard. What PSU do you use ? If its a modern PSU it likley has not enough Amps on 5V.

I had no issues running 2 V2s in SLI with Dual Xeon 550/2M but I don’t own the system anymore to watch for further detail. It just worked great. Does it work with 1 Card ? Or maybe one CPU only ? I also would check with win98 if it works here.

How you know the cpu was made in USA ? Maybe it’s also produced in Malaysia or Italy or maybe in Arizona ? Cyrix was a fabless company and CPUs where produced by a variety of company’s from Sgs Thomson to TSMC Is there any indicator which fab made this IC?

i have no clue about this pack. SIERRA AGI is a Interpreter for AGI Based Graphics Adventures, you need to use tandy patched AGI Files for running Games.

It works on 386DX40 with Parameter but does not work on P90 / Triton. Maybe it’s timing related?
