@Gary: If you find some time you could use my small color test for measuring the dongle output.

http://www29.zippyshare.com/v/41453492/file.html

A very very simple color test (red, green, blue and yellow) in 13h VGA mode.

Written in assembler.

I tested it this morning, works fine.

No need to use a boot disc, just save to a directory and when starting the machine hit F8 to bring up the Win98 boot menu and choose "command prompt"

P.S. I thought you had sent me a picture of the dongle with test points, be darned if I can find one in my e-mail though.

It generates RGBY in textmode (640x400). Could be nice to see the color inversion with and without the dongle attached. @gary: If you still need the pin-out let me know. Edit:

Hi,

Later some hard work checking my Rampy finally I found the problem about rows. With VGA13h SW help I found where the problem comes. It was located on Resistor pack on the back of the card. I had unsolder / resolder it and rows vanished.

The main problem was related some bank of memory was not set right since the resistor pack was not totally soldered for some pins.

Here some pics.

Not rows present

Driver loaded 800x600

3Dfx Tood enabled

3Dfx HW slider full. It does not need to be set off.

3Dfx AA

DX Display:

Now I need a fresh Win98Se install and check how it works.

Regards,
Oscar.
