Bought a 19" Mitsubishi Diamond 91F Monitor. The Anti-Glare was smeared but i sorted that, but otherwise the condition was great and the Geom was spot on. How did you removed the anti-glare? Does it looks to bright or reflects too much? I can't speak for what Bancho used, but years ago I used …

Re: Replacing jumpers with dip switches (external) or turbo button
Posted on 2023-04-01, 14:45
I did this with my 233mmx. The turbo button enables 50mhz and the DIPS controls the multi's and the 60mhz/66mhz switch. The board was already controlled by a DIP switch. I just left all switches in the off state and mounted the required DIP in the case badge area.

Spotted this board this week on eBay. I've been trying to find this board for a good while now but it never shows up. Well one turned up but it was listed as non working / spares. I took a punt on it as it was only £20. All the main caps were leaking/bulging. Chaintech 7AIA0/100 https://i.imgur.com …

Great work Paar. I have one of the BTC cards you posted on the first page but unfortunatley its a really noisy card. I do also have a non working Compaq Armada 7730MT which may be a possability to salvage the chip from.

Along with my Soyo P4 ISA build I posted earlier in the thread I do have this Asus 775 e5200 build with a ATI x850 XT PE which I run WIN98SE on. Not installed XP on it yet mind. I run Audigy 2 and Vortex 2 for sound. I was thinking of doing a 2nd SSD with a Win98 Install for my 6800GT. I could then …

Nice build! How are you liking the EWS64XL so far? Don't see people using that card too often lately. I own one, and it's a pretty cool card, but damn my headphone jack is noisy :) Maybe I'll give it another go after shielding the cables with tinfoil or something. I used to use the (internal) …

Okay, I'm taking a stab at uploading recordings. This isn't something I've really done in the past but I think I have a decent enough setup for it now. By the way... the music corruption seems to change based on what was loaded or being loaded into the bank in Windows when the system crashed, and …

I may try and build one in the near future. I have the SAM9707 spare and will just need to source the rest of the parts. have you found *something* that will accept and open these schematic files? it's an ongoing problem with these old formats.... I've not taken a look at the files yet. I've …

Just looking at how the EWS invokes its mixer is though the Init prog. Copy code to clipboard 1 C:\EWS64S\64SINIT -V -F -B SOUNDSET.94B -M MIXER.TTM Maybe the 94DINIT is the same? If you have a Mixer file try Copy code to clipboard 1 94DINIT F=(FIRMWARE) S=(SOUNDBANK) P=330 M=(Mixer File)

My experience would be once you start using more than 2 sound cards it quickly turns into a bit of a conflict nightmare situation , ask me how I know. Challenge accepted. :D I had this at one point but its scaled it back a bit now hahahaha https://i.imgur.com/BQStXgih.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ …

This is really awesome. Like a Dream Goldfinch! I've downloaded the ISO as it may help with something I've wanted to try and do! I have this board which I picked up off eBay a long time ago. I don't know anything about it but (maybe out of a keyboard or synthesizer) but I'd love to try and turn it …

Re-housed my main Retro Rig (Via C3) into the Lian-Li today. Would like to maybe do some custom length wiring on the PSU.

Picked up this little unit from B&Q to better house my Little Beast Win98 Machine and my Midi Modules. Looks a lot neater like this I think.
