Thanks for the aditional information. I did not know that both processors had their own frequency. Still I bought a 33MHz 387 to match the speed of the 386DX-33. I suspect that games making heavy use of floating point will like a faster co-processor. Anyway, I have been looking for 386 boards and …

Yes this is a nice one. Though I haven't had this particularly board on the photo running recently. The older boards seem to be quite unbreakable though (as long as the BIOS ROM is still ok). But it's not for sale. From what I read this board has got it all. It's a pretty late piece of 386 hardware …

Currently I'm trying to find parts to build a 386 system purely to get some old DOS game working properly. I have selected the mentioned mainboard (AMI Baby Screamer Mark V ) as the board I would like to use. http://mail.lipsia.de/~enigma/neu/pics/386babyscreamer.jpg The problem is that I can not …

Does it use the DOS4GW DOS extender? No, I wish it did. *All* the DOS4GW games are far superior to the ones that are not. I think this game is too old for DOS4GW, I only see that technique appear in Duke3D and the likes. Do you think the amount of memory can be related to this sound issue? The …

The "manual" (its actually the installation guide) says that EMS (expanded memory) is used for the sound effect. The guide mentions that at least 800K is needed but only when there is at least 1MB, the sampled effect are used. Anyway, my memory manager tells me that thre is 32MB of free EMS, so it …

This makes no sense. If you really want to play it "without emulation", you should get a 25 MHz 386 machine. Well tecnically I'm not using any emulation yet. But I agree, I should have picked my words more carefully. Something like MoSlo can be considdered emulation. Anyway, slowdowns of the …

Wow the core=dynamic actually fixed Dosbox! Thanks a ton, that is awesome. (Of course Dosbox is running on modern systems 2Ghz+) But still, now for the real deal. I want to be able to play this without any emulation (e.g., on my legacy dos 6.22). Tomorrow I will look into the Slowdown utility called …

I will try a slowdown utility, thanks for the suggestion. I actually tried Dosbox but it does not work properly in Dosbox either. All sounds work in Dosbox but the game is very VERY slow. I'm already at max CPU cycles but it's not playable (1/2 frames per second I think). Even the music is played in …

Hi All, Great forum here, tons of good information that has helped me out in the past numerous times. However I currently have a problem at hand that even this forum does not offer a solution for. Over the past few months I started expanding my old Win95 PC with all the hardware I could never afford …
