    Windows 3.11 with Mach32 Freezes when External CPU Cache is Installed

    Thanks for going to the trouble of finding that board and posting the pictures. I think I'll pass on it though and try to find another cache card for my motherboard.

    Windows 3.11 with Mach32 Freezes when External CPU Cache is Installed

    I went through all of the troubleshooting items I could find for Win3.x and nothing helped unfortunately. The lockup occurred as always shortly after Windows started up and clicking the mouse. * I tried with enabling and disabling the memory aperture using the ATI INSTALL program. When it was...

    Windows 3.11 with Mach32 Freezes when External CPU Cache is Installed

    I successfully updated the BIOS to 68A and then I decided to try updating it to 70A and it worked, so that was a nice.

    Windows 3.11 with Mach32 Freezes when External CPU Cache is Installed

    Thanks for that! The IRQ jumper settings are interesting. There was a little hand-written note on a little sticker on the bottom of the card that said "IRQ 2". I tried with and without ant of the IRQ jumpers and it made no difference, so I left them off! I'll look into that APMAP program that is...

    Windows 3.11 with Mach32 Freezes when External CPU Cache is Installed

    Well, I installed an Intel 486DX2 CPU and was actually able to get about 10 minutes of use before everything locked up. So it was an improvement but I think I will need to source a replacement cache based on the symptoms matching that IBM service document. Thanks for all the help and if and when...

    Windows 3.11 with Mach32 Freezes when External CPU Cache is Installed

    I noticed that too. I live in Canada so maybe it's a Canadian branded model.

    Windows 3.11 with Mach32 Freezes when External CPU Cache is Installed

    I just noticed on the IBM ValuePoint (Type 6384 466DX2/D) - System information, this section... I have the Type 2 board with a write through module, and after reading this I'm wondering if write through cache was not officially supported on the type 2 board. Maybe it's related to what...

    Windows 3.11 with Mach32 Freezes when External CPU Cache is Installed

    It's a a Model X59, Type 2 system board with BIOS version L6ET58AUS. I have disabled the on-board video with jumper J13 on the system board so hopefully that won't be the issue. I noticed there was a BIOS upgrade (L6JT70A) mentioned in the product information sheet and I tried installing it but...

    Windows 3.11 with Mach32 Freezes when External CPU Cache is Installed

    That was on my short list of suspicions as well. I will do some more research to try and find the overlapping ranges. Another point of note that I forgot to mention in my post - the card is 100% 8514 compatible and when the Windows display driver is set to 8514/a there are no lockups with the...

    Windows 3.11 with Mach32 Freezes when External CPU Cache is Installed

    Hello all! I have an IBM PS/ValuePoint 466DX2/D system with onboard S3 graphics, 24 MB RAM and a 128KB external (removable) L2 cache card. The system works perfectly in that configuration as a Windows 3.11 machine. My end goal is (was?) to install an ATI Mach32 2MB VLB card in this rig, but...
