OS: WIndows 98
CPU/Ram: 33MHZ/16MB
Model/Manufacturer: NorthGate
Comment:

I have a old northgate, I don't know the exact model but I do know that the computer BIOS version was made in 9/11/93.

The video card is some kind of Peradise video card (date printed on card is 1988).

The problem is, that Windows 98 installes a driver called "Western Digital". And I can't use any color setting above 16 colors. (it will restart and still be in 16 color mode, and say something about the selected settings not working with the card)

I have tried all alternative drivers that were included with Windows 98 and still get the problem.

To help identify card, the follwoing number is printed on a removable microchip:

62-003092-061

It is a Pegasise from 1988. (it has about 512K of memory)

Currection, it is a Paradise 1988 model. I don't know why I get Paradise confused with Pegasise

Drivers on that site are either Win3x drivers or do not match. Any other sites?

Painstakingly revealed (in this double post) that the card in question only has ¼Mb of video RAM and is therefore incapable of displaying anything remotely resembling high resolution graphics.

In other words: "was this trip really necessary?"

... uh, no, it was not.

Saying that XP is the most stable MS OS is like saying that asparagus is the most articulate vegetable
