  • Install disk for Western Digital WD-9510-MC/MCI video adapter.

    Alexander has run into a conundrum.

    The ADF that we have, @8044.ADF, does not satisfy his system. https://www.ardent-tool.com/adapters/adf/@8044.adf

    Three lines...

    AdapterId 8044h
    AdapterName "Western Digital Imaging PRO MC Video Adapter"
    NumBytes 0

    QBMCA identifies the WD-9510-MC as "8044". This leads me to guess...

    Botched editing thirty years ago? [cut n paste failed?]

    ADF from real early version of adapter? [ISA version schlamned into MCA?]

    It is somewhat possumble that the WD-9510-MC used an initialization
    program akin to the ATI Graphics Ultra Pro. The card is installed, then
    you run the install program to configure the adapter's registers
    [resolution, frequency, sync].

    BUT... this really kontuzes me upside the head...

    Page updated with all the recent submissions: https://www.ardent-tool.com/video/WD_9510_MC.html

    I also added excerpts from the manual.

    It's weird that the ADF doesn't even bother to define the memory range
    for the option ROM.
