Rendition Card

by Michael Barnet » Fri, 25 Apr 1997 04:00:00

I just purchased the Intense 3D video card and I have a question for other
owners.

To run indyfast or renddma (N2) I have to restart in DOS mode. Is this what
everyone has to do? If this is the case how is this going to affect NRO
since I would really want to run in rendition mode during any online
racing.

Also what about Kali? Will Kali DOS allow this mode? Has anyone tried this.

Any comments would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks in advance.

First, can't answer about Kali.  However, your motherboard's BIOS may
disable the DMA.  You may want to check and see if there is a more
recent BIOS "flash" for your motherboard.  For some reason I can't run
ICR2 in "indyfast" mode from within a DOS box in Win95.  However, I can
run N2 in a DOS box in Win95.  Before I flashed to the latest BIOS
version for my motherboard, it was sorta the other way around.  I could
only run N2 in Win95, if I ran ICR2 as indyfast first.  Now there is no
way I can get ICR2 to do indyfast in Win95.  I really think it's
something to do with my motherboard's BIOS.  (But, Tyan doesn't care
what I think!).  Also I can not run DMADIAG in a Win95 DOS box, but
DMATEST shows that DMA is enabled (but indyfast still won't run).
