Hi
Newbie here, so if I'm doing something wrong, then gently show me the error of my ways, and I will correct them at the best of my ability.
After watching Phils channel on Youtube, it inspired ne to build a retro pc to play old games.
Got a Gigabyte 5AX super socket 7 rev 4.2 with latest bios (F4) and a AMD K6-2+ CPU at 500MHz.
On one of the ide channel there a Zip250, and a DVD.rom. For HDD I have a Adaptech 39160 SCSI controller with several HDDs.
I have 2 Voodoo2 in SLI, a Geforce 4ti, a generic networkcard and a AWE32(CT3990) that I just got of ebay.
It is supposed to work, but I am unable to get it detected at all. Both in Win 98, Win2k and also in MS-DOS 6.22(via Creatives drivers).
Searching the net for pictures to compare, the only dofference between my card, and the one I found is a chip at U17 that is not there on my card.
Not certain if this matters or not.
I've tried to move a few jumpers around, and also installing memory(that I don't know if work or not), but no difference.
So to be certain, does anybody knows what jumpers should be set out without extra ram.
Is there anything else that can be tested.
This MB has 2 ISA slots, and I have tried both.
I also have an AWE64 Gold, that is detected fine in Win98 and Win2k. Not tried it in dos however.
