ATI Mach64 GPT Vesa / 3d
3 messages in this thread
Chuck,
After reading through the forum messages, you seem to be the answer man for
this situation, so I hope you don't mind trying out one more problem.]
I just got the card, tried to load it, and can't get past the 3ds vibcfg. At
this point, I'm not sure if it's the card, or the way I'm filling in the
vibcfg. I use vibrant selections for all and use ATI GPT. I even tried the ATI
Mach 64 (in version 1.0.3?) After I enter "OK", it dumps to the DOS screen but
only the lower half is visible, "colored" static line in middle, upper half of
screen is blank, and system locks up.
Any ideas?!
You should know I contacted ATI, sent them the sysinfo they wanted and am
waiting for their reply, I'll let you know as soon as I hear from them.
Meanwhile, I put my old Viper card back in and am back up and running.
Thanks for any help you can pass on.

Make sure you are using 1.0.3. It sounds like what happened with an ISA Mach64
before we implemented it.

CHUCK,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I am using 1.0.3, downloaded
it just the other day, ( I have to get a faster modem!) 3ds does work
now. When I was trying some stuff suggested by ATI, I had the same
problem. I went for coffee before rebooting and when I came back –
3ds was waiting for me. Takes about 75 seconds before it starts. Now
I understand the "waiting" problem people are talking about. I
haven't experieced any windows problems, but I guess it probaly is
only with the PCI version.
Thanks for the help!
