Megatouch XL - motherboard ??

4.3 is not out of its range..
try a good known working drive in it
and as u said in pm :slave: that 1,and see if it will boot with your main putter?,
once this is done redo your test with it,windows will go sideways at times.
hence the reason i keep a dos drive handy,as shawn did point out in his post
about testing the complete thing,but right now i think that is putting the cart before the horse? as we are trying to find out if your mobo is bad,we care less about the riser and such..for it to go 1/2 white bar means it is trying to mount the drive but is getting held back >cycle<,what u could do if u have a 98 disk
is place the cd in the rom and tie in the older 4.3g hard drive and reload windows98,
if it takes then bing bang boom u have a good mother board,and we move on.
rember u are doing this test using your merit mother board..so this will tell u the trick of the tail..

I have just had another play with the hard drive and have it now booting in safe mode (win98) so I guess now I should see if I can get it to format and install fresh from the cd drive, or is this good enough to believe the Telco mobo is working as it should ?.

ed12:
1 test down,congrads u have a working mobo
so we are now looking at the game it's self
ie riser card etc
will post u back on a few thing's

ed12:
i do have a few concerns with your riser card
1=no 6 pin removeable chip >game key<
2=lack of harddrive
i will need to pell the hood of off a xL
which i will do this evening
but that aside for now
what i would like u to do
is leave the harddrive in
replace the riser card and i/o card
and see if it will come to windows 98 like it did without the riser card
u do not need the cd-rom in at this time
and to answer your question about the harddrive..no leave it alone
thats going to become your best friend in the futher
u see u did a basic mobo test
just to make sure where u are going
by now it should have dawned on u that the mobo is fine,ram is fine,cmos bat is fine
etc etc,neat trick to nail down this bird eh ?

btw make sure u have a mouse and keyboard attached to the game
or 98 will cycle

Hi ed,
ok just put riser and I/O back in with the hd attached, it boots the same..into safe mode.
