ATI Rage 128 Pro Ultra
Go at
this link and at the top right of the screen choose for "component category" desktop graphics, for :Product line" Rage series, for "Product model" Rage 128 Pro and for "Operating system" your own op. system (Windows XP e.t.c.) For this specific VGA card the availability stops at WIndows XP/32bit because it's a very old product.
In case of a problem or clarification, or another specific driver, don't hesitate to post me a reply before rejecting my answer.
If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs" or (even better) add a testimonial.Thanks and regards

Typically, when moving from an integrated video card to a AGP/PCI/PCI-e video card you want to boot the system into the operating system with the old card configured. After that you uninstall the older drivers or disable the card in the Device Manager.
Once that is done, power down the system, unplug all cables, open the case and put in the new card. Be careful of static discharge by touching the system metal/case before touching any components
Reboot the machine and check the systems BIOS (by entering the setup at first boot) and determine if there are any settings for the video adapter. Some systems require changing the default adapter in the BIOS.
Save any changes in the BIOS and have the system boot into the operating system. You may be required to load the video drivers at this point.
Cheers...let me know your progress.
I have a dell gx240 with a ati rage 16 mb agp
Um a ati rage 128 pro is not a very powerful card, and after win 98 there isn't any support for direct3d or opengl. So you will need to upgrade to a better card if you expect to play games.
Problem for my video card drivers
Go under your start menu and click on windows update, and when it pulls up internet explorer click on custom install and you'll see all the updates click on hardware and see if windows can install the driver.
The icons have purple color only
Couple of things, video card not in correctly either where the monitor plugs in or the card may not be correctly seated in the slot. Bung monitor even
Worst case scenario some of its video ram maybe damaged, I have seen similar issues, such as yellow lines down the screen and the like..
good luck :0
Display problems
THE DRIVERS MAYBE CORRUPTED AND YOU NEED TO GET IT UPDATE OR RE AVTIVATED
Ati Rage 128 Ultra Pro 32MB Crashed
Hi,
My name is Todd and I'm with Dell's online outreach program. Have you tried that system with a different monitor, or is that monitor working correctly on another system? Just trying to confirm it's the video card and not the monitor itself.
Another step you can try is to go into the BIOS / System Setup of that GX 240 to see whether the problem is only happening as it tries to load the drivers. I sort of doubt that it is from your description but you can test it pretty quickly by tapping the <F2> button when the Dell logo would first appear. If the video is normal in the System Setup that would let you know if the basic video functions of the card are working correctly.
But to be honest it sounds like the video card is failing from your description. I assume your system's service contract has expired?
If you would like more detailed help feel free to email us at [email protected]. Please include my first name, Todd, in the subject line of the email and reference this issue so I can pull up information to try to help you.
Thank you,
Todd

Did you ever used any tool of ultra wide SCSI? I want to know some distinct quality of that? My desktop is not responding meanwhile.
Larry the Computer Guy, posted up there ^^^^ instead of here.
- Larry Ng Jan 19, 2021NO PC told no maker no model
no UW SCSI card told, at all. (Adaptec?)_
SCSI can run HDD, or tape and many things
what does yours run? IDK.
we run ultra for years, back when.
why are you doing old UW SCSI.?
tell what tool means,. ive no idea at all
a metal tool , software what?
tell what the tool does? and we now can communicate.
only very very old full blown workstations
had a UW SCsi HDD, non told yet.
what does not responding mean./
1: PC dead silent..
2: all fans dead.
3: power on LED dead or acts odd now.?
4; BIOS screens dead./ all ? this is goal #1
5: hdd boot files not found error on screen.
6: any beep codes, any LED blink codes.
id have to ask like 100 question more
with you not telling make of PC , model of PC and where is this SCSI port, show 1 photo of
the inside of PC left side and AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

pure raw wild guess.
the PC is 20 year old
the HDD died 15 years ago
and found this rig for $1 at a garage sale
DOA.
Ultra-320 SCSI ? from year 2003?
remove it and put in SSD 2.5" solid state drive (SATA) and boot from that.
end story, join the modern world?
SCSI is now dead, tech. as in fully retired.
we use SAS or fast SSD. now.

if the HDD is dead say so.
post symptoms and ask for help,ok?
that is why this forum exists to diagnose problems.
test #1 on PC that seems to have power and does with BIOS screens working
the HDD must be heard to spin. (and all fans)
ask how. (i own a 5$ stethoscope a TOOL)
no spin ,no joy, possible.
it has motor inside, the hdd controller
sends a command to the hDD to spin up
turned on, in magical SCSI land
we can even sequence say 5 HDD drives to spin up 1 at a time to not overload the PSu.
that is all controlled via the SCSI card
own Bios screens. prompted at power on in fact.
the SCSI card has its own menus inside its own ROM.firmware. we go there and check the drive out. (might show HDD dead in fact)
NO PC told no scsi card told.
here is mine spinning up now.https://pcdied.com/HDD-SDD/spoolupjet.mp...
if HDD click like mad , the HDD is bad.
like this.
https://pcdied.com/HDD-SDD/WD-bad-heads-...*****.mp3
post of photo or left side inside this PC.
lid off PC pulled off. (then add a photo)
then we can talk turkey. (to brass tacks)

the reason nobody talks SCSI now is that it is now retired. (eol)
yes some very very old PCs workstations had this, OOBE day1. sure. have one in my attic full of thick dust. old and slow.
and for sure servers. old.
