Some PowerPC Reference Platform machines had ISA slots too. As did the BeBox, for the purpose of allowing buyers to use the "PC clone organ bank" as JL Gassée said at the time. Filename MBOARD.gif File size 13.97 KiB Views 622 views Filename HWBlockDiagW.gif File size 24.5 KiB Views 622 views

It works very well with DOS games and in Windows 3.x/9x. I had that unit but sold it to the member NilsWorld more than a year ago, you should contact him. He made a bunch of videos of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r6t-c7q-94 It covers the full install so skip to 18:30 for one set of drivers …

Your OPL2LPT looks like a nice thing to have for old laptops, considering how difficult it can be to find any pcmcia sound card. It reminds me of the Digispeech PortAble Sound Plus for the AdLib on the parallel port function, but simpler to replicate as the other device was emulating SB as well. …

Here's an .iso image, extract it from the zip file and burn it using imgburn, it works. And don't extract the contents of the .iso, or it won't work anymore.

All you really need is a cd-rw or a blank cd-r: -extract the bootable floppy image from your Win98 CD using isobuster -modify that floppy image with winimage, add the needed drivers and edit the config.sys and autoexec.bat files -burn a new boot floppy emulation CD using your new image with imgburn …
