Thanks for the reply. I realized my error, I was trying to enable port 330 on the waveblaster port, which caused a conflict with the PC midi. I disabled port 330 on the Ess header and now the PC midi is working at port 33. It is still freezing however. You may not have played the game long enough to …

I have been trying to diagnose a freezing issue with World of Xeen on my 386 with a 486slxc2 cpu. I am using an Ess Audiodrive card, a PC Midi card, a Roland Mt32 and CM64l. I will also mention that the cd rom is ran through the header on the ESS. The game only freezes when using the MT32 or cm64l, …

Re: I de-CQMed my AWE32 PnP CT3990...!

As long as the wattage of the resistors is at least 1/8W I don't think the other specs will be too important. You want 0805 (2012 metric) size parts for this application. Though generally you'd want the lowest ppm and tolerance range for the resistors; in this circuit those specs are not too …

I'm trying to find the correct resistors and capacitors to mod my CT2950, but I'm not sure about the ratings, such as wattage and ppm for the resistors, temp, voltage and flex for the capacitors. Do any of these specs matter?

Just thought I would add that I'm using a Ct2950 with a dreamblaster s2. I can't get the stutter effect to occur when playing Duke with general midi.

What motherboard is pictured?
7000 Dhrystone 286

7000 Drhystone 286, can it be done? I know EKB's 286 has eclipsed the 6000 mark, but 7000 would be the ultimate. I'm wondering if it has been done or if it is possible.

It's only an 8088 cpu. I guess I'm stuck with the opl2lpt.

I believe EKB's 286 ran 0 wait state with dram 20 pin chips and a simple aluminum cooler epoxied on top of them.

I meant the M219. Google it. It was somebody on this forum I believe EKB, that mentioned it.

I heard bad things about the M209. I heard it was slow, plus I didn't like the fact that the cpu is soldered in. I bet your bios won't have the option for zero wait state either.

I believe Mr Bios is shut down. Couldn't I swap a bios chip from another board?

Check out EKB's 286 setup. That is a fast 286 with 0 wait state memory.

Here is a pic of the bios. Notice how there isn't an option to run the dram in 0 wait state?
