I just got my VGA card (a Orchid Pro designer which I populated to 512k)
and It works great except for a couple of dropped bits.
My PC is a 10 Mhz DTK clone and I can always revert to 6 Mhz (out of turbo
mode) and the VGA card works perfectly.
At 10 Mhz (turbo) all the text modes work fine, but it drops a small percentage
of the bits sent to it in graphics mode. It is more annoying than anything
else, but of course I want everything to be perfect.
A call to orchid revealed that moving the board to the slot closeest
to the power supple should help (it did a little) but it didn't fix it.
Can anyone suggest ways to add wait states to the IO bus?
I am running 0 wait states with my main memory, but I didn't think changing
that would help.
Has anyone else had problems with a clone that pushes the IO bus to 10Mhz
instead of the 8Mhz it is designed for? (I have four other cards that
don't care about the speed)
