Has anyone else managed to test their STB PowerGraph 64V+ replica card? I recently finished assembly of my card and noticed something perculiar. Occasionally, during quick changes of text on the screen in DOS, e.g. after selecting Windows 95 from the boot loader, I will see a horizontal line that appears and disappears as shown. There's no corruption in DOOM, Quake, 3Dbench, etc. It only occurs during rapid text changes in DOS. This horizontal line appears, for perhaps 1/30 or 1/60 of a second. I am using the original STB PowerGraph 64V+ BIOS, not the 0WS BIOS.
Another issue I've encountered is sometimes the display won't show at power-on. This has occurred on two different motherboards now. The solution on motherboard A was to hold the reset button down for a full 3 seconds. On motherboard B, this method didn't work, but a simple power cycle did work.
What did work was the hacked 0 ws BIOS on my ALi PANDA based motherboard when the FSB was 25 MHz.
