No problem, you‘re welcome! The English .tw.com page didn‘t have the board, but the German did.

I’ve tried Commander Keen and Doom and so far they seem to work fine to me. But what about more obscure games? Does the card still hold up? Especially curious about the SVGA kind requiring some sort of Univbe fiddling. (I’ve read that the card can have some issues with Windows 98 but at the moment …

Thanks for your replies. I am an old fan of Abit products and in particular of motherboards. A few years ago I had the chance to buy an IX48-MAX or GT3 (they made it under two different names) NOS, but I was preceded by the competition on eBay. The IX48 board basically has the same layot as the IX38 …
