486 EISA system

Looks like everything is up and running now. I took a dremel to the ST chip and seem to have killed it in the process, but found a DS12C887 on ebay for $5 shipped. Once I got the RTC installed the system would boot but still gave me an EISA error. Doing a massive amount of googling and cross googling I managed to find AMI EISA Configuration Utility V 2.01 on the internet. Running the ECU allowed me to setup the cards in the system (and the EISA memory seems to be just fine so I don't have to replace that chip). About the only issue I have left is configuring the caching Mylex card (it thinks there is still a HD on ID4 that is not there, but atlleast its battery must be good then), that card needs utilities that will not run in DOS or Windows 3.1. I finally installed my boxed copy of OS/2 2.1 onto an SCSI HD in the 486 EISA machine, which is what I wanted it for anyway so I am happy. As somebody mentioned earlier the network card only works on 10Mb with my network, but seems to be speedy enough (the 100Mb connector stays dark when connected). The AMI software had configuration files for my motherboard, Adaptec SCSI, video card, and network card the only one I needed to dig up was the Mylex board (and it told me exactly what file I needed so that made googling easier). If anybody needs the AMI software I can go and dig up the link or email it to you, handy to have if you mess with old EISA systems. Are there drivers anywhere for the Aview 2E cards so I can get higher resolution then 16 color VGA in Windows and OS/2? I have yet to find any for that card. The card has a full 1MB of VRAM so that should be plenty for Win 3.1.
