#Upgrade GoldenGate
4 messages in this thread
I have bought the new Cyrix Upgrade Microprocessor Cx486SRx2 for the
Vortex GoldenGate 25Mhz 80386Sx AT-Emulator. It fits well, but doesnt
work! 🙂 When starting up, I receive the message: " Loader reports error
98: can't find GoldenGate-486 ". My question is : Is it not possible
upgrading the 80386Sx on the Emulator?
Claude,
if it really said "Can't find GoldenGate-486" rather than
Golden-Gate 386, I would suspect GoldGate put in a microprocessor
detection routine in their software/firmware and that is what is
screwing it up. It's detecting the 486 and therefore gets confused.
Can you call the company for a fix if that message is as I typed it
back?
Claude,
Unfortunately, that's the way it is. Vortex put in hardware copy protection to
prevent the board being ripped off in Europe. To get the board upgraded, get in
touch with Rich Mataka, Vortex's tech support in the US, at (718) 967-1509.
They'll take your board and replace it with an upgraded board, so it has to be
a "stock" board in good working order.

I thank you very much for your answer to my question ( it was the first
that I put in Compuserve).I ' ve asked the firm where I have bought the
processor, if they will take it back. Up to now , I haven't got a reply;
but I still have hope. If yes I will change my 386Sx to 486SLC2.
