First post, by Gahhhrrrlic
I've been working on a P133 machine, which will have DOS/W95 on it. It's going to be a pretty sweet build and thanks to our own Jed118, who first replaced my RTC battery and then determined that I HADN'T blown up my motherboard (saving me from throwing it in the trash and buying another for $450), I'm able to reap the full benefit of the Shuttle HOT-557 WITH USB!!!
Anyway, I have every single slot filled on this thing, except for the 1 PCI card that can't simultaneously be filled with the ISA below it because they share the same back panel. I had the computer running ok with most of the cards working fine but ultimately decided to reformat and start again because the USB was giving me problems. First it worked, then it decided to stop working. Anyway, no harm done... yet.
So when I reformatted and tried to put windows back on, it failed to detect my sound card at all. Also in DOS, the drivers couldn't see anything at 220H. It was as if the card wasn't there. This brings me to my question. Is there a good DOS utility that will list all the cards in the machine and the addresses/resources they occupy? From doing a bit of research I've come across the following suggestions: pcisleep, PCICFG, msd, HWiNFO, Manifest (mft.exe). Mind you, some of these programs don't seem to do what I am asking - they list hardware info but not specifically for your ISA and PCI cards. What I'm hoping to find is a program that will enumerate all the cards, both ISA and PCI and tell you roughly what they are and where they are. Any ideas on this?
Config:
HOT-557
32MB 70nS RAM
P120 O/C to 133
ATI 3D Rage II PCI
PCI NIC
ISA Modem
SB16 ISA w/ dreamblaster
ISA SCSI Controller
USB Panel to MB header
2 x Serial
1 x Parallel
EDIT: As this is my 166 post, I recommend we all put MHz after our number of posts, to show level of noobness 😜
