Sugestions for VooDoo based projects

[hanksemenec]

Hi Guys,

Sorry I have been away so long. I can't get my head above the water.

VSA101 and VSA100, well they are diferent chips not pin compatable. I know that 100%, I pinned out Daytona.

To make Daytona run fast you have to adjust DQS line, my black magic. I have a programmable delay line on PCB for that.

About a year ago I have posted rework for V5 5500 to expand the ram, looks like I'll have to find it again.

The same can be done to 6k, but the ammount of solderring, sheesh :-P.

Hank i really want to play with my V5 5500 as it is coming out of the gf's machine in about a month..

So if you can post the instructions or e-mail 'em to me i would really appreciate it..

Thanx:D

please, don't ask hank to email you instructions, WE ALL want them, so it's much more convenient and feisable to simply post them.

Hank, I don't know if this is of any use to you but since I'm not sure of that, I'll place it here anyway.

I always thought I had Hyundai memory on my V5 5500 AGP untill today. I got some Coolermaster memory heatsinks and placed them on my V5's memory. Upon doing so I found that I have Toshiba memory.

Toshiba F38156
0013 KAD (<- could be 0013KAD)
Japan
TC59S6432CFT-60

So I went to the Toshiba website and started searching and found the datasheet for the memory. http://www.toshiba.com/taec/components/Datasheet/tc59s6432cft-2000-02-17.pdf

I entered TC59 in the search on this page:
http://www.toshiba.com/taec/cgi-bin/display.cgi?table=Family&FamilyID=7

On page two of the datasheet you can find the pinout. I'm not that technical and don't really like reading so I have no idea what's on the other pages (there are 51 pages in total []).
I hope this is of some use to you.

Hmm, I just realized something. The memory in that datasheet is 4 banks x 32 bits which comes down to 16MB per chip. So, is it safe to assume that since it has the same code, it will be compatible with my Toshiba 8MB chips?

So Hank, wouldn't the only thing I'd have to do to get more memory is remove the current memory chips (carefully) and replace them with those in the datasheet?

Ummm just wondering if you read the bit where it says could you POST them OR e-mail them to me..
I really would like every1 to have them as that is what the community is all about..
I only asked for both on a whim for what reason who knows (and who cares)...
My point is: What does it matter to you if he e-mailed 'em to me anyway???

Hank since you have did the mod b4,is it possible i send my v5500 to you and you do the mod for me and how much would it cost to mod the card?

Cause amp_boy's a nosy little brat...

Thanx Lecram..

I'm constantly amazed by some ppl..

Hi all,

The larger memory requies an extra address line to be hooked up. A10 or A11 was not wired, have to check again. The address line comes to a test point under the chip. I took my V5 appart and located the ball on the BGA and traced it to a via on the back.

Poor little V5, one of his kind took appart sad

hmm, did you people ever consider that maybe I was interested in it also? more/faster ram on my v5 sounds awesome. and i did notice the post the instructions part, I was just trying to make sure that's what happened, 'cause emailing them would sort of defeat the whole purpose of the commmunity. Through my presence here and my moderator position on another forum, I've learned that there are people out there who expect others to go out on a limb to give them a hand, sometimes on the most basic, ignorant, or insignifigant things.  I doubt hank would email them to you anyways, I hope he realizes there are other interested people here...

and lecram, stay out of this. This is too good of a thread to get locked.

[lecram25]

lol,

and DO NOT tell me to stay out of things. You are not a mod, you have no right to state such things.

Took you long enough to find this thread...and yes, Hank would email him instructions...don't assume that you know what Hank would do

This is a forum for discussion about topics of intrest to people who own and wish to modify thier V5 5500 and V5 6000 cards now i own 1 of these cards and i wish to mod this same said card to give it a longer life span as a game card..

I played and beat RTCW in 1152-864res in 32bit now if it can do that with 64mb at 166mhz what could it do with 128mb at 200mhz..
My Girlfriend loves it she reckons it out performs my old GF2 MX200 32mb SDR and my GF2 MX200pro 64mb DDR cards..

Currently i'm running mine at 180mhz (i modded and then flashed the bios back to the card so i don't have to run overclock sw)stable as a rock now what i want do is to increase the ram total and the speed so as to be able to get more life out of it..

Amp_man if Hank wants to do either then who gives a damn..
Now pleeeeeeeeeease can we let it end there..
Lecram and i got off on the wrong foot now we have no probs can we all just try to learn about our cards and keep it nice and friendly???

Hi all. Hank, that v5 rework instructions would be great. I have one humble request for you. Is it possible to do a voltage mod on a v5 pci? I have sufficient cooling, would like to try. I know someone posted a voltage mod for v5 agp, but pics were crapy, and wouldn't tell a thing. I need the v5 maker's help.
