Cool, thanks! This will replace the Trio64V in my P133 as I move it from being a DOS 6.22 box to being a Win95 box.

Many thanks! Mine is the DataExpert MPG3365P so specialized drivers won't work, very likely, but I hope the last generic driver you posted will.

Could you please share the drivers you are using for the Scenic/MX2 daughterboard? I have a Trio64V+ with integrated Scenic/MX2 onboard but never managed to get it to work due to lack of proper drivers.

Where does MVP4 fit in all of this? Is it comparable to MVP3 aside from not having a free AGP Bus?

After looking for a Socket 7 board that can cache 64MB+ for two years and giving up, I had ended up building my K6-2 400 using a 430TX motherboard and 66MHz FSB. But fate has it that I can now easily buy not one but two VIA MVP4 boards. Are MVP4 boards worth it? Worthy replacement for a 430TX, if …

Why you would want a retro PC to play a 2009 game beats the hell out of me..

Any reason for your preference of XP over 2K? 2KSP4 feels a lot more utilitarian and efficient while being equally stable and effective to me.

I consider myself VERY lucky to have found a high end Philips 109P 19" CRT from 2000 with a Trinitron-type display for just €25 including the original box in perfect condition (no yellowing at all and the glass has not a single scratch or scuff). It can do 1600x1200 at 85Hz which is insane and …

By the way you can softmod 9700 into 9800, which alleviates the performance gap. Is the inverse possible? I have this card: https://i.postimg.cc/T5hF68MP/ATI-Radeon-9800.jpg A Radeon 9800 built using a 9700PRO PCB and an R360 GPU. I want to softmod it into a Radeon 9700PRO (Because I would rather …

What I don't get is that there is only one clkmul pin on the CPU and thus only one clkmul pin on the motherboard. So with that one pin you can do a few things: Connect it to voltage or connect it to ground (and sometimes leaving it floating does something different). I don't know of any additional …
