Already Arrived. The GUS seems to be this one: https://retronn.de/imports/hwgal/hw_primax_music_sound.html#0 So it seems to be an original Gravis card. This is Primax SoundStorm M16B. It's not 'original Gravis' card, but Primax card, although some of them were sold by Gravis as their own product …

This Yamaha FB-01 (basically same as IBM Music Feature Card - just in form of midi module). Very nice condition too (one of the front panel corners is just a bit dented, but other than that no scratches/cracks).

Friend's dumpster find - I received this stuff in exhange for 486 build I'm completing for him. Some damage unfortunatelly... but not on the items I really cared for (SCSI controllers, CGA card, 286 board) some of it I may fix... Nice ! It looks like a 10Mhz 286 but the main Xtal looks like 48Mhz, …

I've been messing with the jumpers and floppy/hard drives for a while now, and honestly at this point is it safe to assume the card is just dead? I've even had some odd behavior happen a few times where at the POST screen I get some green garbage characters and the screen keeps scrolling down. Very …

When it comes to FM synthesis - there is no replacement for a real chip. Same thing as with analogue vs digital synths. While there are some sophisticated VST plugins closely imitating 'the real thing' - no such approach is present in the emulation world. Some sound characteristics simply can't be …

I noticed the driver library is missing actual images of the CT1350B driver disks (only loose files), so I created them in case somebody needs them (I would add them to the library but I don't have an account): https://mega.nz/#F!Ed8xzYZK!cO3f7_i-I6NZLBm7NgMPDQ

I hope EGA Wonder 800 works fine... I'm not sure what the Quadram board is... it has 8086-1 and three 2048x8 SRAM chips... it also has 40-pin connector... Is that memory expansion (Quadram was known for them) or some sort of drive controller?
