Hello all, brand new member. Working on building up at late 90s rig to play some games from that era. I recently purchased a Number Nine Revolution IV (AGP version) to go on a Intel 440 BX-2 motherboard but ran into some difficulties. When I tried to boot I would get the one long two short beeps error for bad video card, I thought I had just gotten a bad card off of Ebay. There is one 3 pin header on the graphics card and as a last ditch effort thought I would throw a jumper on the header and it booted! There are some graphical errors during post on the bios screen with vertical stripes going down the screen, the stripes aren't there when it shows the VGA BIOS or in DOS (6.22), only in the BIOS. I was wondering if anyone knew what the header was for? I searched their old website on the web archive and googled around but haven't had any luck coming across any information. I'll post pictures after work today as well.
