Re: Floppy troubles

Posted on 2021-10-07, 20:55

Yeah those external drivers are very cheap. I bought one from aliexpress a couple of years ago and it never worked fine, I had your very same problem. Then I found there are adapters to use the old floppy drives with usb, since then I use it without any issues with windows 10. That's interesting, …

Re: geforce mx200 corruption

Well done trying to underclock the card, if I got it right the problem lies in the gpu, try to find the maximum underclocked frequency to have it stable, then you could modify the bios with new clock speed. Another try is to use a bigger heatsink if you can, but maybe the card chip was damaged due …

That's great, thank you!!! Mine is a S520 but I may try to crossflash. Edit: I think those cards are cursed. I used the gigabyte ga-6bxc rev 2.0 with a pentium II 400, the results where inconsistent, they were the same with stock and overclocked frequencies. So I decided to use another bx400 the msi …

While looking for the drivers mentioned by Con 2 botones, I found this russian faq page: http://faqs.org.ru/hardw/video/savage4.htm Translated with google, it had some nice tools, mainly one for the bios, but obviously the links aren't working anymore. I find this quite interesting: Savage4Pro rev E …

I think the card is just fitted with an Extreme chip, but sold out as a Savage4 GT considering the memory used (7.5ns). I have a similar one from Manli with VT memory with access time of 7ns, clocked as your - 110/125. The chip is fitted with a small passiv and is heated strongly. Savage4 PRO had …

For something more extreme (I'm referring to gpu overclocking) you could use heatsink with fan or direct good airflow to the heatsink you have installed) 😁 Indeed an Xtreme card deserve something extreme! :D Joking aside, I pushed it to 133\133, the small heatsink become so hot that I can't keep my …

Thank you all for the many answers. The "gpu" become very hot indeed, it should need a heatsink. There was some gunk on the chip, I cleaned it with fingers. The memory is rated for 7,5ns, I will try to get higher memory speed, i'm not touching the gpu clock since it gets very hot already. This is …

Hello, I just received my second S3 Savage4 Xtreme video card, I would have expected it to have 166 MHz for both gpu clock and memory. Instead according to Everest it shows 110mhz for the gpu and 125 for the memory according to wikipedia those are the clocks for the Savage 4 Pro. It's the second …

Re: A defrag for dos 7 do it even exist?

Posted on 2021-09-12, 20:01

As for freedos defrag, that options aren't greyed out if used in a fat16 unit, it's probably an implementation issue with fat32 and the freedos defrag. True, if you try to use for example the /F switch it'll tell you that this method is not valid on FAT32. But I wanted to make sure it's clear that …
