????? Jumper settings for old ISA card (CL5428 controller)

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.video (More info?)

I went to the junk store and got this card for an old computer I am
trying to upgrade (from CL5424) for vintage DOS games... but all the
jumpers have been removed and I have no clue how to set them.

Here are photos of the card:

Can anyone point me to documentation for this card or suggest what the
proper jumper settings would be? The bus is 25mhz and I have upgraded
the processor to 100mhz.

Thanks!

Charlie

Those pins probably aren't 'jumpers - it looks like a port for a
daughterboard to connect to or someting of that kind. Also - this card
appears to be a VLB (vesa local bus) card so it will need a motherboard with
a VLB slot - see here

That row of pins up top aren't jumpers. I think it's the "VLB feature
connector" meant to let you connect up the output from another card to
it to add features. To my knowledge, nobody ever came out with
anything that hooked into that connector -- Though I'm sure I'll be
proven wrong as soon as I post this.

You might want to get hold of a copy of Display Doctor (VBE) though,
as the VESA support for many cards using that chipset were pretty
flakey, causing some nasty problems with some games. I think SciTech
released one of their older versions as freeware a while back, but I
don't know if that's the case anymore.

I searched around the net and couldn't come up with anything, even the FCC
ID wasn't found. It appears to be a MACHSPEED video card. I searched their
site with no result. Try contacting MACHSPEED to see if they can give you
any info on the card. Is this a VLB card?
