I wouldn’t want to play quake at 320x200. 640x480 is tolerable, but if I recall, that Rendition Quake variant either didn’t do well at this resolution or doesn’t work. Can someone remind us what the result was with this? Yah at 320x200 it almost has a widescreen effect, it’s not quite full screen …

For anyone interested, the Rendition Verite works on the m919. At the same resolution as dosbench Quake I’m able to achieve 31.8fps in vQuake at 180MHz/1024k L2. Although chalk a couple frames up to vQuake using 1.08 for it’ base. 76B9F56D-CFF0-4D0D-9B65-AB25CC4E2A53.jpeg Update! Forgot to do the …

Looks like i am spreading misinformation about the TURBO switch if both of you cannot replicate the automatic bus divider circumvention. I thought this is how i made it work but maybe don't remember correctly and it was the FSB jumpers. Best Quake 1 score at 180MHz Chadti99. Well job. : ) M919 …

feipoa, this m919 board appears to favor Samsung EDO modules. I swapped the 16MB module for a 32MB 60ns EDO module and it appears to work just as well. Actually going from 16 to 32 has bumped my Quake score up to a consistent 21.3, how does that work? 23B45F89-EA0C-4FD0-95D6-4546EDA33EA5.jpeg I’ve …

Thanks for confirming! I’ll pull a Voodoo3 later this week and test. So for the turbo trick, can I simply jump j12 during boot and then remove the jumper once I make it to the dos prompt?

Apologies for the spam of posts, it was a long battle but finally I was able to duplicate pshipkov’s Quake score of 21.2 on the m919 @180MHz and 1024k cache. Cache Speed = 2-1-2 DRAM Read = 1ws DRAM Write = 0ws L2 Cache = WT *unsure if these settings are stable or the same that pshipkov used This …

Finally getting somewhere with this m919. @pshipkov, at what cache and memory timings were you able to achieve the 21.2 Quake score at 180MHz and 1024k cache?

Yes I’m able to boot from the SD card adapter now. Enable EDO and disable LBA mode seems to be working.

Okay , apparently the memory that came with this board is EDO and that option needs to be set in the bios, I’m booting with l2 cache now!

Ugh, can’t even get the mobo to boot a dos install disk with a Gotek. Just hangs on “Starting MS-DOS…” Strike that, pulled the cache module and now GoTek is booting. Was able to format the SD card after booting dos from the GoTek. I can now boot from the SDcard adapter and the GoTek but in both …

The FC1307 based SD adapters have worked quite well for me, this m919 appears to be the first that refuses to boot with it.

What are you guys using for storage on the m919 boards? Recently acquired a 3.4 B/F version and it refuses to boot with my IDE to SD adapter. Although it’s able to detect the drive size in the bios.

Appreciate all the suggestions. I don’t understand why I can’t run the hardware detection process for non-pnp hardware, what could be preventing this from running? Even if I don’t need to run it, it should still run without the inf error right? Re-running windows installer now. It’s gotta be …

I’m trying to swap a VLB video card on an existing 98SE install/machine. When I try to run the hardware wizard it won’t run through the normal detection process and fails on this missing inf error.

Browsing CPU shack I noticed a part number for a Cyrix 5x86 with no marked clock speed. Why were these made? What speed are they?
