I really like the fact that this project is still alive! Looking forward to the progress.
Re: New Waveblaster card : Reptile Paradise - Yucatan FX

With all the talk of this Dream bank being directly derived from the Sound Canvas sound set, I am curious. There is one file that I have noticed only sounds the way it should on Roland devices (among brands in common use with 90s PCs), so if anyone with access to a prototype would be willing to …

Well, pretty disappointed with the results I got with joining XT-IDE with the original BIOS, I tried another path: I got a couple of 27C256 EPROMs, wrote a configured XT-IDE file and put it on the 3Com 3C509B card. It worked...kind of. The PC POSTed, XT-IDE correctly detected the primary master ( …
Re: Mouse issues after Windows for Workgroups 3.11 update.

My Compaq Contura likes vanilla Windows 3.1, but not WfW 3.11.. That's interesting. I have a Compaq Contura 400c and it also dislikes (freezes after everything has loaded) WfW3.11. Whereas Windows 3.1 (Compaq edition) does run flawlessly.... I suspect something is up with relation custom memory …

If you want to I can prepare a bootdisk image with short manual and batchfile for the BIOS flash for you. It might be worth a shot to see whether onboard audio returns.
Re: Crystal sound chip

Sorry, you are right, I just remembered... There is indeed no option on this board's BIOS to disable the onboard audio. No jumper either, it is always enabled... Same goes for the onboard video (iirc you only have the option to choose which video adapter to initialize first (AGP or PCI, whereas AGP …

Isn't the 4280 dependent on the AC'97 codec it's paired with? Have you tried installing drivers for that? Ill try jaZz_KCS suggestion. But never thought it would be such a hassle. Thanks for your suggestion 👍 But then again reviving 25year old stuff is fun! IIRC those drivers I posted are the VIA …

How about how does Geforce 2 MX compare? I have one without 400 after the MX on the chip. I also have MX4000 card that I think is suppose to be similar performance as MX400 at least based on some forum conversation online. That depends.... The MX4000 is the latest iteration of the GF4MX440 revision …

This chip isnt bad at all. I do have a Vectra VEi8 HP MITAC OEM board as well. It should work with the drivers I have attached below. It will also install a TSR for Soundblaster compatibility in the autoexec.bat (cw*audio.com). In addition to that I have also added an additional Crystal Soundfont …

Only two handful, as I like to have all boards I own in service/operational status. So most loose boards I own are spares for others currently in use somewhere.

Re: 10GB drive + Award BIOS problems

Yes, EZ-Drive supports FAT32. It asks you what OS you plan on using and what FS you want to deploy. I have no clue about accessibility of Win10. Again, I have only ever used Windows up to Win7, where it works. But then again, I would never use the most modern machine to send files over, but always …

Do I have to organize myself a Value/donor card to for this fine object in preparation? Or are enough prepared/laid aside for the whole batch?

Does anyone have yet more sound examples of known/popular games to share from this soundbank? I am not familiar with the Cancun FX, it sounds very interesting. Splendid work, Serge.

Re: 10GB drive + Award BIOS problems

I recommend going with the DDO (Direct Drive Overlay) route and can wholeheartedly recommend EZ-Drive v9.09w It isnt always necessary to go the XT-IDE route if the only problem is the size of the drive in question. Thanks for the idea, however it is my understanding that this overlay software will …
