Have you tried winding back the video card drivers to the oldest supported?

I too would like a desktop case with integrated speakers.
Re: PCI vs CNR slot for Ethernet card
Posted on 2020-03-28, 21:14
There is a lot of variety just within PCI cards. Some do full offloading, some push most back to the CPU. The CNR card pushes 100% of the work back to the CPU.
Re: Voodoo passthrough cable -- 14-pin OK?
Posted on 2020-03-28, 09:58
I read pin9 is used to power the eeprom inside some monitors which then spits back on pin15 the monitor name etc. Hence it supposedly works even if the monitor is powered off. Anyway I bought one of each on ebay...I need a thick cable to replace this thin vga cable I have been using and that I …

Voodoo passthrough cable -- 14-pin OK?
Posted on 2020-03-28, 00:36
I notice a lot of VGA extension cables on eBay are 14-pin only. Everyone assures that pin-9 is no longer relevant, but to be sure I wanted to check here to make sure using 14-pin passthrough cable to a voodoo1/voodoo2 is going to work OK.

I think I tried that but it was very unclear what buttons it was referring to...I'm not sure if there are different models.
Kawaii GMega -- factory reset?
Posted on 2020-03-27, 10:49
This is my weirdest sounding midi module. I sometimes wonder if a factory reset would make it sound more normal. Anyone know how to?

It's like saying would you like to own Ferrari. Sure, but probably not going to happen and I get by with more affordable alternatives (like a Hyundai).
Re: Planning to install SSD in my Windows 98 machine. Help, advice, suggestions, etc.?
Posted on 2020-03-26, 09:28
120GB SSD works nice with Win98. I have had trouble using the chipset IDE mode for sata ports and usually just rely on a cheap IDE/SATA adapter from China. They work pretty well.

I have a virtually identical pc/lcd setup to you, with a s3 virge GX instead, and it works fine. I think the trio/virge are the most compatible dos cards of all.
Re: Where to get standard ATX I/O shields ? (Pentium 1/II/III era)
Posted on 2020-03-25, 17:59
I feel I should point out there are no standard IO shields - ATX only requires they fit within the rectangle somewhere? Even ones that look very, very similar can be different by a few millimeters...and it makes them as incompatible as any others. I have learned this the hard way, even with two …

Anyone know if this board's bios was scraped: Intel D850MV? Yep, all the home motherboards' files were deleted. However there are some places where the files can be found, any specific file you need? BTW: Nice board the D850MV. I had a D850EMV2 many years ago, which sadly I gifted to a cousin, who …

Well given I have bought well over 40 motherboards over the years, most without IO shields, they come in very handy whenever I do a new or refreshed build 😁

Looks for bunldes/lots on ebay. I bought a lot of about 40-50 once and I have usually been able to find something close enough. Individual ones are often quite expensive.
