Wonder if the turbo button could speed it up... have your game so the opponent can't do anything, set cycles rather low, frameskip 10 then keep ALT-F12 pressed.

The important special chip is there, it should be possible to replace the others, they are not very uncommon. Mouser (I am not familiar with component dealers overseas, this is the first I thought of) should have everything except the SRAM. It is available at Ebay (you can even look for a HM6116 or …

When using the S3 driver we actually know where the pointer is 😉
Re: 286 - video without BIOS possible?

BIOSes are mainboard dependent, let alone CPU dependent. Doubt you will find a 28-pin chip with more than 512Kbit.

The SVGA part of the ViRGE is a lot like that of the Trio64 though.

It probably has a non-x86 video BIOS. You could put it in a system along with a working video card and run a PCI scan. Maybe it gives some hints.

The clock is off when they are shipped, the BIOS acivates it. However the batteries have a certain self-discharge so they wear out eventually even with the clock off.

What kind of computer do you have it in? Try to reduce the ISA bus clock and/or add I/O waitstates.

These old IDE drives are not neccessarily compatible with modern adapters or BIOS.

Norton Commander 5.0 could open the file. But the 2 I tried only had an explanation of the BIOS setup parameters and the CMOS bit map. Not a documentation of the chipset.

What actually would be useful are the dimensions of a properly calibrated IBM EGA and VGA monitor for all the different modes. Visible tube size, raster and visible picture. Everybody says its 4:3 - wonder if anybody ever checked 😀
