Yep. Looks like it. Do you by any chance have a more modern board where you can plug the cards and boot from a floppy? I know that 440BX works. In any case, thanks for trying and reporting. The negative results are valuable. I'll try to see what may go wrong on your chipset with emulators, but that's a shaky ground. Emulators mostly hit their own bugs and not the bugs of the original chips. For instance none of PCem, 86Box and Virtual PC implement all the sequencer registers of the S3 chipsets.
I do have two other more modern systems I can test on: 440BX and i815, but neither are set up. When I get time, I can try. And thanks for the other image with disable Pentium Timestamp Counter. I will give that a try hopefully later this afternoon/evening.
The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.
