Another Botched BIOS on a G400DH

[Venturer]

I understand your reasons, but i hope the BIOS of the new Matrox card (you know what i m talking about! ) will be more stable for the sake of all Matrox's clients: Less RMAs and less work for the tech support!

Could someone please post PINS for the G400 (SingleHead 16MB)? I have dead one lying around and was thinking of hanging it on the wall, but after reading this thread maybe I could bring it back to life... Can I use DualHead PINS?

THX!

G400Dh 32mb and G400SH 16mb use the same clock settings for the graphic chip and memories, so you can edit the PINS i uploaded with the settings i suggested, but i think the 16mb version has different timings (CAS; RAS to CAS delay, ecc....) for the memory controller (61; 71; 81 in the PINS). Ask to Haig for the memory controller!!!

Also SUBSYS_ID for the G400SH 16MB is 2159102B .

As i said before, you can try to "save" your partially damaged PINS with the utility MXINFO avaiable here

http://grafi.ii.pw.edu.pl/gbm/matrox/MXINFO.EXE

Then you can read the correct values for you card and make the changes on the G400MAX pins.
