Motherboard for Voodoo 5 6000

[Morfeus]

Recently I have bought a Voodoo 5 6000 rev.A 3700, I have tried to use it on an old motherboard with a Celeron 366 just to try but it doesn't work so I tried with a motherboard mounting a Celeron 700 or 733 now I don't remember, but nothing it doesn't want to work[]
What can I do? At the moment I'm waiting an Epox 8k3a+ with kt333... What do you think?will it work on this mobo?
Have you a motherboard's compatibility list for Voodoo 6000?

at the moment I have a Epox 8k3a and my Voodoo 5 6000 rev.A 3700 but I'm not able to use it... It doesn't work, before with other matherboard the pc speacker makes beeps like there wasn't a video card now with Epox's motherboard instead the pc speacker doesn't makes any sound but the monitor still be off. Any suggestion, Epox 8k3a+ is in the compatibilty list of http://www.voodoo6000.com/, may I have to set some particular thing in bios?
I have set Agp to 2x and nothing other

I only get a beep when i forgot to connect the internal power supply. I know it sounds stupid but take a look if yours is connected.

If it is connected right, you could have a look at the main powersupply. Does it have enough power to supply the v5 6000?

Anyways if the mainboard is in the compatibility list it should work fine. From my own experience i know that KT3 chipsets work excelent. So your epox mainboard should also work.

the power supply is a super Flower 550Watt and unfortunately I have connected the voodoo's molex[]

Could be a motherboard bios issue. You can try to go back to an earlier bios version. I had this when running my 6000 on an Asus P3B-F, up 1.006 it works fine, but with the latest bios 1.008 it wont post...

Download Attachment: PCI.zip
46.51 KB

VooDoo boot debug 101

The file that I have uploaded is PCI.EXE. Make a DOS boot disk and copy the EXE file to the disk.

Next find a non 3DFX PCI card that you can boot from, in some circunstances remove your 3DFX AGP card and set the BIOS to boot from the PCI first. After Install the AGP card back.

Boot to DOS, then execute PCI.EXE. You should see several devices, the ones you are looking for are 121Ah (3dfx). If you see the device then your card is alive and just the BIOS is nuked. If you do not see the 3DFX signature, say good bye to the card.

Why non 3DFX card , when you use flash program you want to make sure that the flash target is V5 and not PCI V3 for example.

I'll add more to this later.

I used flash.exe downloaded from http://www.voodoo6000.com/, but it doesn't work, sometimes it said that it wasn't able to recognize the card and sometimes that it wasn't able to recognize the epron manufactor... any ideas?

[hanksemenec]

Please, can you tell me the history of the card, where it came from?
