She means with the actual chip. I did a little research, not having an S3 myself, and determined that the Trio64 and the Trio64V+ are integrated 864s and 868s respectively, between which there is no difference but motion video capabilities in the 868. The Windows 3.1 driver doesn't seem to use that though, meaning that the drivers should work on both cards.
I have a problem installing MS DOS 6.22 on Award SIS 496/497. It's stuck on "Starting MS-DOS..." 🙁

The Xfree drivers suggest that MMIO has changed significantly between x64 and x68.

Is this booting off floppy? If so, have the floppy drives in the BIOS been configured correctly?
Sadly, my coding skills in C and C++ are like a skeleton (I mean coding from scratch or porting from C++ to C), so, I doubt I can get the NE2k ISA working on your emulator. (From the datasheet Sarah gave me of the DP8390 one, well, looks complex, and I think I need to look into it more)
Btw, have you people looked at the CD Audio Track Time issue I have posted some posts earlier?

No it is not booting. I tried several different versions of MS DOS 6.22 and it still doesn't work. I wll try changing floppy settings in BIOS and will report soon.

This can also be a BIOS issue, I'm using the right bios of the Award 496/497 and goes installing just fine.

The default on BIOS was 1.2MB 5.25 floppy drive, changing it to 1.44 fixed everything. Thanks for help 😀

Interesting. Do you have a link by any chance?
EDIT: Also, there aren't any drivers on Windows for the 864, and the VGADOC says they're almost the same.

Have a look in http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/ … attic=0#dirlist; you'll have to look at older revisions as the driver was removed at one point. newmmio.h shows the differences between the s3_generic and newmmio drivers, and drivers/newmmio/newmmio.c specifically checks for x68 or Trio64V.
EDIT: Also, there aren't any drivers on Windows for the 864, and the VGADOC says they're almost the same.
Not sure what you mean by 'there aren't any drivers'. 3.x doesn't ship with 864 drivers, but then it ships with very few drivers at all, and 864 drivers for 3.x do exist. Win9x ships with suitable drivers for both 864 and 764.
I also wouldn't take VGADOC as gospel - there's not a lot in it about x68. Besides, it doesn't really document MMIO at all.
I couldn't find any 864 drivers for 3.1 at all. I know Win95 shipped with them, though.
Try http://files.mpoli.fi/hardware/DISPLAY/S3/86413B7.ZIP. I also have the original Bahamas 64 driver disk somewhere.
I noticed an odd thing with Monster Truck Madness in that it only draws the sky buffer. This bug may affect other games involving the same Terminal Reality 3d engine, though i've only tested MTM (and oddly didn't test Fury3, Terminal Velocity, MTM2, Hellbender, CART Precision Racing).

That doesn't work.
EDIT: Rather, it doesn't install on Windows 3.1. It asks for the S3 Flat Model Driver Disk.

Point Windows back at the directory containing the drivers. Also update your PCem checkout, as I've just committed a fix relating to these drivers. I think the 1 meg version of 640x480x16M is slightly broken, but there's no reason to use this mode at present (it's unaccelerated for a start).

What about the foreground color issue on MS Write on Win3.1?
EDIT: Screenshot attached. (16bit color used, happens in 256 color mode too, but red)
EDIT2: I'm using the same drivers that Sarah has used (the above link)

I did that. Does the same thing again.

Fixed.

I've had no problems installing these drivers, apparently neither has SA1988. Maybe you've extracted them wrong or something.

many thanks Sarah! Keep it up! 😀
Okay, Sarah, you were right, don't merge my changes.
EDIT:
SA1988, my changes caused the red background in Windows Write, sorry.
