 U1      CL-GD5428-80QC-A
 U6      PALCE22V10H (  dated 3/4/94 )
 U7,8   SOJ DRAM  TC514260BJ-70 *1
 U9,10  Solder pads for additional VRAM
 U12    84G7129   M5M27C256AFP  ( BIOS  ? )
 U11    LM334
 C15    Capacitor ( 10/25A/40B )
 J1      Video Connector
 

 *1 For SOJ DRAM chips, See below
 

   
   
Originally equipped in 5521-YSB/YWB. Not available as an OBI. This adapter is Flicker Free.
Ready to upgrade to 2MB ( but you need soldering work ).   Just solder SOJ DRAM chips at the solder pads.
Each pin # 14 of solder pads for additional VRAMs  are already connected to pin # 141 of CL5428 through 100 ohms resistor which is marked "R26".
Value printed atop of the resistor is "101".   Reply Video Board  uses 33 ohms resistor for this connection.

   Click here for  Adapter BIOS ROM.
 

Win9x built-in driver can detect 2MB and provide 1024 x768 16bit mode ( if  the system property is  correct ).    NT4 can detect only 1MB of VRAM even if you have 2MB installed.

 C31 Capaciotr ( soldered reversed position.. by what reason) 

  

I thought this one was  really a "BAD" MCA adapter IBM had ever made.   Probably the adapter worked *fine* when it was new.  But after several months ( or years ) of running in a system,  it became  very flikery.  All of 1MB SVGA /A in my  hands give me  "Sandstorm"  on my display.  And actually IBM might make mistake. 


         Peter Wendt found "wrong orientation" of a capacitor C31
Click here for the solution of "Sandstorm" disease.  The page is an updated Louis's 1MB SVGA page mirrored by David L Beem.   I'd like to quote Louis's outline ( a little bit modified by me ) to compare Japanese CL-GD5428 SVGA and Reply SVGA .
For electrical explanation, please read Peter's investigation and testing reports by David L.Beem and Jim Shorney stored  in  above mentioned page
 

  Note : Outlines of  71GG0650 were originaly created d by Louis Ohland
A)  Remove the C31 capacitor and replace it to
     newer one  with same capacitance ( 2.2uF 16V
     to 20V ) in REVERSE orientation like Fig. left.
     This rework is electrically equal to Reply SVGA
     layout. 

B)  Or remove the capacitor C31. 

 


 

 And, Untested horrible thought.
