Hi,
got a HP Thin Client T5530, 800 MHz Eden CPU (CN700), 128 MB RAM and 2GB DOM (SSD).
Northbridge : VIA CN700
Southbridge : VT8237
Graphics : VIA S3 UniChrome (Pro)
WinXP is slow, so I installed DOS.
The detected AC97 Soundchip (vt8233, 8235, 8237), using Knoppix Live USB Stick,
can NOT be "activated" via set blaster variables in autoexec.bat nor can the "lost" VIA drivers do anything :
LOADHIGH C:\DOS\VIA\VIAUDIO.COM
LOADHIGH C:\DOS\VIA\VIAFMTSR.COM
"install.exe" of the VIA driver says "Can not Find VIA Audio Device !!!"
BIOS gives a "integrated Audio Enabled/Disabled"
So no legacy support ? 🙁
I only get PC Speaker output. (tested using Impulse Tracker)
If I start "viaudio.com" from DOS I get :
"If you want to run DOS legary game, please enable sound blaster Pro in BIOS setting first. [yes it says legary ;p]
The S3 grpahics chip does not seem to have any drivers for DOS. THats what I read while readin vogons.
"According to Wikipedia; "UniChrome is an updated S3 ProSavage used in VIA's integrated graphics chipsets."
"I remember reading that it uses some parts of Savage 2000, but the 3D is based on Savage4."
Will univbe be any help here ?
Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend !
