Re: 3 (+3 more) retro battle stations

@Chadti99 Do you happen to have a N9 BIOS for the Vision868? I have a Miro 20SD that I am tinkering with. It seems on average a hair slower than the Paradise 864. Conservative memory timings seem to be the issue. Troubling, to say the least. Going to try your BIOS later tonight and see if I can …

@Chadti99 Truly, I'm glad to be here! Socket 3 is pretty versatile, and I agree completely that there's a lot to be had! It's amazing how people are improving upon a 25 year old platform; Atheatos' anyclk system is nothing short of incredible! Tomorrow I'm going to try out the N9 BIOS you sent. From …

@Chadti99 Awesome! I want to see how this differs from the Diamond BIOS v2.02. I’ve seen a couple of those #9s out there. Very nice cards. How’s the image quality? They’re always top of the game in PCI-land. @pshipkov Glad to hear! I am considering an IIT AGX015 for testing, but the VLB version is …

A while ago I ran some benchmarks on the AGX014 on my Symphony board with a DX2-66. I normalized the results to a GD5426 VLB, as the WD Paradise Accelerator Pro box amusingly says "faster than some VL-BUS accelerators." I was skeptical, to say the least.

I am under the impression that the difference w/ respect to the VESA modes must be something of a fluke. I cannot for the life of me understand these APC boards sometimes; I constantly wonder if it's an implementation quirk with respect to the chipset or whether it's just the chipset itself, but …

@pshipkov Re: 286 ————— Interesting developments indeed. It’s a shame that your board seems stuck at 12MHz. I’ll dig mine out and see where I can go with an overclock to 16Mhz, but certainly it seems like the AWARD BIOS is the better option for starting. The AMI BIOS limitations do not surprise. The …

You said your SuperEISA was a bit hard to work with. Can you explain? Absolutely! I was quite fortunate and initially had two SuperEISAs. I traded the more commonplace one that’s like yours with a ZIF socket and removable/replaceable clock gen, and kept the older version, which uses a LIF socket …

Definitely! This thread has been most interesting and elucidating, to say the least. I have learned quite a bit from the experiments done here, and really appreciate the work that you all have been putting in. Thank you for having me here! As for YouTube, I really appreciate it. I haven’t been on …

Hello pshipkov and Chadti99, I've been following your guys' work for some time now and it is quite impressive. Talk about taking things to the next level! I've been meaning to contribute here, but my highest performance 486 boards at the moment consist of the APC Predator 747 w/ Chips4041 chipset , …

Weird S3 805i

Posted on 2022-08-26, 00:48

Hello all, Recently, I came across this weird S3 805i VLB card. I have not messed with it yet, as my office is in a state of disarray while I repair my main computer, but I figured I’d post this here in the likes that either someone has seen something like this before or someone knows who made this? …
