Is that VRAM or DRAM?

I have a VLB Diamond Stealth64 DRAM which has an S3-Trio64 chip and 64bit memory. I'll post that if you think it's worth the outside chance that it works with your board.

Maybe try the bios posted here first: http://vgamuseum.info/index.php/component/k2/ … m/357-s3-trio64

My Board is a bit special.
I specifically searching for this BIOS best in version 1.4 but all others also are welcome.

Thanks !

That board looks like it's someone's personal project and not some mainstream card.

Where did you get it from ?

That's a really nice looking board for a homebrew design.

How much of it would be directly translatable to a purely ISA design? By that I mean was this card only possible because the Trio64V+ has hardware level PCI and VLB compatability?

Yes Virge 325 and Trio64V+ still have VLB Support, i don`t think it would be easy/possible to make a ISA Design with that Chip 😀

This Card was made by Madao (here on vogons) and is really fast.
But i have no HighEnd VLB Board, i only have Shuttle HOT-491.

i really would appreciate the PowerGraph BIOS, to rule some things out.
