Steve,
>>Have you ordered AnimaqPC w/ QuickPass?
Not yet.
>>Just for clarification, you have a Viper, a 422+ Diaquest, and Action
Animator… Right?
Yes, but not in the same machine. What I was relaying in my original
message was that we (Computer Services) have had a problem with
ANYTHING accessing addresses 3e8 and 2e8 in a "Viperized" machine, so
I would suspect the Viper.
The simplest trial would be to get you hands on an inexpensive VGA
card that uses either the Trident 8900 or Tseng ET4000 chipset (I say
these because they are pretty hardware friendly!), yank the Viper,
install one of these and see what happens. Do you have a friend at a
dealership that would load you one of these? You should be able to
"Scam" a new Trident 1Mb for less than $100.00. DO NOT use another
co-processing card, they can all present the same problems.
Or, you could always wait for Diaquest <BG>!
