Does anyone knows why it has a 27c256 OTP eprom ? Is it possible to find an ES689F or is it unobtainium ?
Are you referring to wave table something? I have an audodrive with it if that helps.
got again an ATI VGA Stereo/FX - maybe when it arrives in a month I'll also figure out the joystick/midi/line-in pins on that DB26 connector
... and maybe I will provide better pics for wikipedia, my old pic is used for that card and it's too crappy nowdays 🤣 🤣 🤣

To save resource settings.
Purchased this SC-55 from its renowned owner recently. There's slightly more to the story, but, suffice it to say, this is -the- Sound Canvas that was used for the scoring of Noctropolis and other titles.

Thing looks brand new.
I just purchased a GS-only logo SC-55 myself, but it's not in such a pristine condition as yours.

Have my fingers crossed for you. Some S3 Virge cards have OK display output, others are totally blurry and crap.
Ouch, really?? I'm hoping for a good display. Since I'm out of Blank CD and floppy disks, I cant' install it properly atm due lack of drivers. I bought a Gotek Floppy driver, once it arrives, I'll rejoice thinkering with old tech.
Got this a few days ago and loving it (even if it's being a little temperamental!)

Not hardware but if your foot it will definitely be painful. OS/2 2.1 UNLEASHED by SAMS Publishing from 1993. Over a thousand pages of OS/2 sweetness. The book is in excellent condition for it's age.
It will come in handy for my up coming OS/2 v2.1 installation on my MITEK 386DX25 system using scsi....

Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉
Just got this FX 5500 256Mb AGP recently for about 5 usd

That one time EPROM is likely a lookup or program table for the 3d effects processor on the ES968F. Programmed at the factory.

Snap 😀 - still have my original bookstore-bought copy from back then. Does yours still have the shareware disk at the back? - if not and you want a copy I can run you off an image.
