Yo. Building a from scratch NexGen PCI motherboard with PF110 chip.
Ran in to something odd. Yes I know it's probably never meant to run this... Buuuut.
I can get a Nvidia 5200 to post. But I've tried two different Nvidia 6200's and can't get a post.
Does anyone know anything crazy that might help in this build
The two cards that won't work are
EVGA 512-P1-N402-LR
Jaton Video-348PCI-256TV
The one that does work is the;
PNY FX5200 GF05200PUD25G/0TS4AVA
PNY PO # TUV6B13
EDITED: Running "q" version bios.
Now the why. the 6200 appears to be the last Nvidia Video card to be supported by both Windows 95 and Windows 98. So I figured.... Why not push to the max out of the pure fun of wasting money on Ebay? Just geek it out to the extreme and make a youtube video when done. So I got a bunch of new parts. Like a "black" mid tower, new power supply, new maxed memory, pata to compact flash, ect. I tried some sata 1 cards but it wouldn't pick them up in the bios. lol can't hate me for trying to put a sata ssd in it for the lolz right? heh. I put a SSD in a Sun Ultra 60 once for the lolz it booted, and fast so why not. So yeah basically trying to build a system to push this board and CPU to the max just for the funzies.
So any insight into this old tech would be great. Even if it's a screw off kid your nuts comments. :)
