I recently tested the two cards against each other, but the PCI variants. Compared to the Voodoo 3, the DVD player on the TNT M64 at least started with hardware acceleration. But not much came out of it, that's true. So i still would prefer the Voodoo 3.^^

On average, both graphics cards are equally fast. The TNT2 M64 has advantages in DOS, but uses more conventional memory. The TNT2 has MPEG2 acceleration, the Voodoo 3 doesn't really. On the other hand, the Voodoo is faster with DirecetDraw, but this only affects a few games. The decision is still …

Thanks. There are suitable 2.0mm USB brackets. One less problem. The PS/2 mouse connection remains. The pins for this are not on a line and must be connected individually. There are 2.0mm to 2.54mm jumper cables, but only two-pin. Three of those and it should work. Not pretty but doable.

I`m using System Commander v5.04. It was my first attempt in this direction, but it worked. I'll have to take a closer look at everything when I get the chance, the PC is currently stowed away. I don't know which version of AWEUTIL this is. Edit ver. 1.35.As usual, I also have EMM386 because I …

Lose anything noticable when going back to 1.4? That's a bit annoying. Not really, it says MII CPU @166MHz again instead of 6x86MX-PR200. And only 8.4GB of usable storage space instead of the existing 15.2GB. Not that bad, but annoying because even an expert couldn't find a reason for the NMI to …

I also have an interesting variant of the problem. ECS P5XVBE Rev 3.0. AWEUTIL only worked sporadically. After I installed a boot manager it now works every time. No idea why. A BIOS update to version 1.5 led to the known problem. Then I went back to 1.4. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p= …

I have two SS7 systems (VIA, ALI), and no proper solution for USB 2.0 yet. Do all cards from different providers (VIA, NEC, ALI) slow down the system? I have a VIA card here that I was able to throttle to USB 1.1 by withholding a driver. It's very slow, but in full USB 2.0 mode the system slows down …

Thx anyway. I doubt that anyone could still have such a bracket. Edit: Is there no other way to adapt at least a PS/2 mouse port?

So found the right spot. And yes, not useable for me. What a waste of time, I apologize... Will sell it at some point. If anyone still has the right bracket and can send it to Germany, please get in touch, thank you.

What do you mean the voltage would have to be divided again? One PS/2 bracket, and a standard 2x USB bracket. Each port requires 5V. I think I might even have one laying around here somewhere. Hehe, that would be awesome. It's non standard and tiny... So standard 2,54mm (sorry metric) won`t fit? …

Hi, I bought this board as a replacement because it was cheap. Now i know why. PS/2 mouse and USB would only be possible via a special bracket.

Yes, the machine only has a single PS/2 connection. However, a splitter is expressly provided. But many people use USB mouse and PS/2 keyboard. The BIOS update has made a difference, I can now select PS/2 Mouse in the menu, and the connections both work without being swapped. Great success...I'm …
