sherwood,
I was wondering what video card you were using on your Intel motherboards.
I posted several messages about trying to get an ATI Mach 64 w/4mb to work on
an Intel pentium 90. This message is one of the latest. I haven't gotten a
lot of response on this problem. Maybe I haven't been checking the forum often
enough. Since this message I have tried another Mach 64 w/4mb on the Intel
board. I have also tried one of the Mach 64s in a Compaq 566 XL system.
Neither of these trials worked. I also tried the SoftEngine F/X ADI drivers
that ship with the Mach64. I set up vibcfg to use ADI drivers and set the
correct rcpadi environment variables. This gave me the error: Display video
hardware did not initialize
I was wondering if you might have any ideas.
<I was wondering what motherboard your using with the ATI card. I have <been

fine in Windoz but I get get a page fault when I try <to run 3DS3. The ATI
works fine if I remove the 2Mb upgrade, but 2Mb <won't do with a 21" monitor.
I have updated 3ds to the latest (1.0.4) <inline drivers, tried different ram,
updated the flash bios on the <motherboard and reinstalling 3DS. I am about
out of ideas. I may <have to go back to a Matrox card.
thanks
