Yes, I am super Necro-ing this thread because I just purchased a Boca Vortek ISA card and went looking for drivers. It looks like there are Win95 drivers included with the Win95 CD per the display.txt from the CD: Hercules Graphite, Boca Vortek, Orchid Celsius (IIT AGX) …

Do you have another monitor to try? What about another video card? That picture you posted looks fine. Is it ghosting? If so, then you either have a super crappy VGA cable and/or the video card has a crappy DAC. What are the specs of the rest of the system?

Back around the year 2000, I was working at a computer shop and the worst boards were anything made by SuperMicro. They literally had a 90% DOA rate. Before I worked there, a few years before that I was upgrading from a 486DX2-66 to an AMD 5x86-133 and the board I bought from them, despite …

Pretty sure the original drive is using a 44-pin IDE connector. The same connector used in older laptops. The DSXGDOS installer, which is the one that includes DSDMA is supposed to be installed from within Windows and it should set everything up properly. I can always run the installer from a …

What chipset does that system have? Edit: (Nm, just looked it up. You will need DSDMA) /edit Are you running setupds /s to initialize the card before running setupds to go into the configuration? The stock setup with DSDMA is supposed to automatically load DSDMA if a DDMA or PC-PCI compatible …

If you want a dual board that has AGP/PCI/2 ISA, then you want the ASUS P2B-DS. It is dual slot-1, but it supports Tualatin so you would just have to use slotket adapters for the CPUs. http://www.os2museum.com/wp/the-ultimate-museum-pc-continued/ ASUS P2B-DS Apart from the onboard Adaptec AIC-7890, …

I don't think I've ever run across a 3-pin fan that wasn't wired properly. After trying multiple fans, I would suspect that there is something wrong with the motherboard. Do these fans work with a 3-pin to molex adapter? We still don't have an answer whether or not the system is actually POSTing so …

Ok, so I was doing a specific search and what you probably want is a few component video switchers. That will give you 5 or 6 available RCA plugs per switch setting which will handle up to 4.1 or 5.1 when used with audio only. And you wouldn't necessarily need 1 switch per computer. You just need …
