As far as I know, the "newest" rom of the SC-55 mkII is 1.01

Following up... Thanks for all the replies. I got the original manual on Ebay (M Technology R407e motherboard), so if someone needs it I'll be happy to scan it and post it here. Long story short: finally I got it working, at first was hanging up on boot with some of the cache chips, got that fixed, …

I don't think manually tweaking the BIOS settings is going to help that much with correctly working PnP video cards. I think the root cause is that the VT82C505 just wasn't 100% PCI compliant. A bios upgrade might help. I see some 1997 Bios files for FIC-VIP-IO here: http://cwcyrix.duckdns.org/ftp- …

If someone has a spare PCI video card (2mb) earlier than 95' I'll be willing to buy it...

Here is a picture of my motherboard. I have not touched the jumpers so they are exactly the same as in the picture. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=826376#p826376 I hope you can see the jumpers because the picture is bit dark. I compared it with mine and changed a few jumpers (except for CPU …

Yeah. I did "Load bios defaults" yesterday and I have not touched any of the pci settings since that. I did that yesterday and again just now, also played around with the IRQ stuff. What if the whole PCI section of the board is fried? I'm going to try a pci sound card and see what happens, not long …

I am at this moment testing this exact motherboard and it is working fine with virge/GX with bios defaults. Bios is 4.26GN1 Jezz! so you didn't assign IRQ's and INT's ? you left them all N/A? it's driving me crazy!. I just found out that my Stealth64 2001 series seems to be PCI 2.0 which is good …

S3 Trio64V+ should work, use one as a test card in all sorts of PCI capable motherboards including 486, but do not have a FIC 486-vip-io. The S3 Virge might be pci spec 2.1 so might not work on your board but would expect the multi beep of the speaker to tell me a video error. Do you have a speaker …

I have an FIC 486-VIP ( no io ). It gets finicky with PCI boards after 1997, but it works fine with the Matrox Mystique and the S3 Trio that i have. At first I didn’t think it liked my PCI et4000 board, produced a ton of artifacts & unstable, but it turns out that the edge connector needed cleaned. …

Hello All! After several headaches, long hours and days, I'm coming here to see if someone has run into this issue before and can help me with it: I recently got a FIC 486-vip-io with the purpose of having a 486 dx2 66MHz with a 2 or 4 megs PCI video card. I already have a nice SOYO vlb setup with …

Hello, does anyone has the M Technology R407e motherboard manual? If so, can you please scan it and post it here please!! I'm trying to set the jumpers for a CPU and found some info online but is inaccurate and don't want to fry something. Thank You!

Hello, I know this thread is over a year old but I'm curious about something, selecting the "SC-55 map" on a SC-88vl (or pro), does that cuts the 64 Polyphony to 24?

Yes, that's a Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum 16, I did have one back in the day and was very happy with it. It comes with SCSI CD-ROM interface and REAL YAMAHA OPL3 (for digital FM sound). It looks like a newer version of the one I have now (see pic). The connectors and plate in the back look …

Hello all, it's been some years since you guys last posted. I'm new here in VOGONS and it looks like the perfect place to get (or provide) help on all the long gone games and systems we love. I played Shadow Caster (Floppy version) a long time ago, it was one of my favorites, now I'm testing it …
