Hi! I've received some Simmconn AWE64 Adapters from dreamblaster a few days ago. Today I've tested one of them with LG memory module (FPM 32MB 72 pins - 60ns): https://preview.ibb.co/fExnw7/IMG_20000102_034750.jpg The AWE64 identifies the SIMM module properly: https://preview.ibb.co/erTAG7/IMG_ …

Hi!. I have a Chicony mainboard. The battery is in the end of life: it works properly, because it still keeps the CMOS RAM information, but it is dropping the acid: https://preview.ibb.co/kN2nX7/IMG_20180329_102338.jpg Suggestions ?? Recommendations ?? I was thinking of removing it - cutting with …

Hi Predator99!! Dont worry, you will get this running without documentation... Does the seller say the boards are working? No. He said to me: the mobos were working when they were uninstalled a long time ago. I previously bought two 486 mobos in the same conditions and they are working properly. The …

Hi! No sound card. The mainboard needs -5V. I have another old PSU for my 486/Pentium class machines with -5V and it works properly with that PSU. I bought a new PSU, and It doesn't work. The new PSU hasn't got -5V line.

I fixed the issue. The card has got a strike and two cables were in short circuit. I "erased "the short circuit Pictures without short circuit: https://preview.ibb.co/fooFd7/AWE64_1.jpg :sweatdrop: :sweatdrop: :sweatdrop: :sweatdrop: https://preview.ibb.co/f6d95n/AWE64_2.jpg :sweatdrop: :sweatdrop: …

Hi again! Without luck!! I cleaned the contacts and I plugged the card in other ISA slot Now when I pass the diagnose it takes long time displaying the message "Detecting Dram..", but It follows with another test. Before, I barely had time to read the message.

I think - I bet - them memory chips is broken, but ...there is a thing I don't understand: if the memory is out of order (0 bytes) and the card can not load any banks, how it is possible the card pass the AWE test? It sounds very good, equal to my AWE32

I asked that because in my system it sometimes skips the memory too, but it usually works when I run it second time. I thought it was because of the speed of the computer that it sometimes skipped it. do you run aweutil in your autoexec.bat? I didn't know, but I think I run it second and more times …
