Hello!
I finally got this card to work - jumpers weren't set right and there was no picture out. Hopefully I tried it in an already setup computer that had PC speaker connected so I could hear the machine actually booting (counting memory, booting beep...). Otherwise I'd probably just throw it away 🙁
This is the card:
Does anyone have any idea about the jumper settings - I just randomly set them up. But don't know what they actually do.
The card now works but would like to upgrade the memory to 2MB. This is the memory on the card:
It's 70ns. I only have a few 45ns and 60ns from other boards.
Diamond Stealth 2001 S3 Trio 2MB PCI:
Cirrus Logic CR5429 2MB ISA:
I've already tried both memory chips and while the card recognizes 2MB and works fine in text mode there are heavy artifacts in any graphic mode. I could run 3dbench and there is improvement of 3FPS in Quake just 0.1FPS. In Win 3.11 there is like 100% improvement in 16bit color mode. I didn't take any picture but it is unusable.
Is the problem with above memory chips (to fast) or with the card itself? Any manual for the jumpers would help.
