looking for v5 agp a2 bios
03.08.14 at 17:39:44
 
unfortunately i'm overwrite bios on my a2, so looking for bios dump for it (ver 1.12). this one http://3dfxbios.cl-rahden.de/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=upload:voodoo_5:5500:agp:v5... is corrupted.

may be somebody have any idea why this board (a2 3300) freezes with dvi out, but vga is ok. soldered dvi out by myself, using slightly modded v5 mac bios by rainbow. card run on 1.5v agp in 4x mode (no matter 1x or 2x or 4x)

Wow, you manage to mod this card !
Can you post pictures please ?
I think that the DVI only is not enough, you must add some resistors too.

Here you go BIOS version 1.12 for V5 5500 RevA2

I'm also interested to see pictures of the modded card and test results.

Cheers,

v4 dvi out works flawlessly, especially with rainbow bios (vga and dvi works simultaneously). tv out works too, but only in windows. don't know how it should work on vsa cards, but on avenger cards it works as clone from power on.

Maybe I should translate...

Prototyp-BIOS
DVI-Support (aber kein DVI-Output) --> DVI-support (but no DVI-Output)
AGP 4x
Taktung: 166/166 MHz
21.07.2000

The file came from a 3dfx prototype. The file says DVI, but even with a card made by 3dfx it has no DVI-output.
I guess it got the file from Oscar. Maybe you ask him, if his card freezes or just does not give any output.

Corrupted is a term I use for things like "not flashable" or "kills my card".
