Canopus Pure3DII LX Voodoo2 SLI Also bought a PCI Voodoo3 3000 for cheap, but it was too good to be true. No video out. Seller refunded.

Instead of "likes," "thanks" could be used. I've seen this on other forums. Attach the "thanks" to the member who received it (to be viewed on their profile), also. It will be easy to spot the members with helpful (and sometimes massive) contributions, and it won't be a popularity contest. Instead, …
Re: So I got a Matrox M3D PowerVR PCX2 card... but my PC might be a bit much for Windows98SE...

Looks on this list. You can find many of these cards extremely cheap (and maximumly DOS compatible; even on eBay (except for the 3dfx cards, of course). Reminder: Avoid GeForce cards because of the PowerVR add-in. https://gona.mactar.hu/DOS_TESTS/

Is this the same boot disk from the files copied over form the beginning? It seems like you made changes. Where are these diagnostic tools coming from? This shouldn't be. There shouldn't be any "Win@oss" directory, either. You should not be continuing on in the face of problems, either. Disconnect …

You may also run into issues with the 512MB of VRAM (Win9x should be limited to 256MB of VRAM to avoid problems). You couldn't have picked a more troublesome system combination to work on that's for sure. If you search this board and the MSFN.org forums, you can work your way out of this hell... but …

The CF guide I wrote for you was not designed for swapping disks in and out of the system. My system has worked for years now without the kind of problems you're going through, but I am not swapping disks in and out of the system. I don't think it is much of a mystery. The problem is the unstable …

You don't need to downgrade security to allow all of those OSes to communicate with Windows 2000. If you have a desire to increase security, install the Active Directory Client pack for Windows 9x. This will provide NTLMv2 ability. Then you can set 2000 and XP back to NLVMv2 only. If you're keeping …

Re: Intel SE440BX-2 - Windows 95 USB Help
Posted on 2022-02-04, 11:35
There is nothing special about the SE440BX-2 board (which I also own) necessitating 3rd party USB drivers. Everything you need to support USB is on the Windows 95 2.5 CD. Windows 95 doesn’t support USB out of the box no matter which version used, though. Right after installation, you need to install …

I can't tell for sure from the overhead shot provided, but given the period of this card's release, I am guessing it is VESA P&D out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_Plug_and_Display Sounds like it handled video input as well as output: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/erazor3pro [edit: …

Re: Sound Blaster 32 CT3670 + 2nd OPL3 card ?

You won’t have any trouble with only 2 sound cards. You should have plenty of I/O, DMA, and IRQ addresses. Worst case is disabling one or both COM and Parallel ports. You don’t even need to disable one card in Windows, in fact I discourage it. And for some games like Age of Empires, You need both to …
Re: [SOLVED] 2 sets of SLI Voodoo2 Cards on 2 440BX Chipset-equipped Motherboards Blackout & System Locks up when 3D Eng

I switched: AGP to PCI video; no change. Fast Voodoo v4.6 drivers; no change. Older Intel motherboard, ECS P5VX-A (430VX); no change. By this point I was starting to wonder if there was some kind of 2022 timebomb implanted in these Voodoo cards, but I tried one more motherboard: ECS P4S5A2 (SiS XP4) …

Try installing the mismatched voodoo 2 drivers since they really dont like to work together from different manufacturers, let alone a different size of video memory. You can download it from here: http://falconfly.3dfx.pl/downloads/mismatched-sli-win9x-v30202-files.zip If this works, expect some …

Hello all, I'm having one heck of an issue with 2 sets of Voodoo2 cards in SLI; both sets are matching. I looked around the forum and I have read some rumblings about 440BX problems and Voodoo2 SLI, but it doesn't look like it is a massive epidemic. I don't recall ever having these issues when I …
