Ok. Think I'll pass trying this AMIBIOS. Way too fond of the Gateway 2000 to make a chance seeing it pass away. Thanks for the reply!

Hi, I have a Gateway 2000 with a DX/2 66 having a Phoenix BIOS. Also have a AMIBIOS laying around. Those AMIBIOS look nice on boot-up, but mine has less pins than the Phoenix. Is it possible to swap the BIOS with another with less pins? Regards, Jostein

Hi, Recently found a Sound Blaster Audigy SE PCI card. Wondering if this will work with DOS... Any chance of getting AWE32 or General MIDI compatibility with this card in DOS? Regards, Jostein

In your Autoexec.bat file, insert the following statement: SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 If you still don't hear anything, change it to a 2. The above environment variable is normally used with AWE based cards, but couldn't hurt to try on a SB16. Yes. Tried that as well. No audio comming from the attached …

Tried connecting pins directly to the wavetable board, but no sound coming from the left or right channel when playing. Card may be damaged..

Running DOS 6.22 and CTCU. Still, the tool is not able to detect the WaveTable 620 port. Also, it's worth mentioning that earlier when 620 was detected, the DIAGNOSE.EXE was play FM music on the WaveTable playback test...!?

Hi, Having problems detecting the WaveTable part of a Sound Blaster AWE64 CT4500. It comes and goes. The CTCU.EXE PnP utility detected everything fine until after fiddling around with different settings, it now fails detecting the WaveTable 620 port. All the Audio settings are fine, i.e. base …

Seems to be a Anigma lp4ip1. Not finding any manual. Still, what I really need is to know how much CPU it can handle and need to know where to put the L2 cache.

Hi, This motherboard is from a Gateway 2000 4DX2-66. I'd like to read the manual, but I need to know its name in order to find it. Not seeing any labels on the board here. Can someone please help identifying the motherboard? Thanks!

It's a Gateway 2000 486 DX/2 66 MHz. What I see from MIXERSET.EXE is: Volume / Balance = Voice, MIDI, CD, Line, Mic, PC Spk, Master Input = MIDI, CD, Line, Mic Output = CD, Line, Mic Other = AGC, Save FM / OPL does respond to MIDI, but still no sound from the wave table. MIDI is checked from the …

I don't see any VLB ports, but PCI ports are there. Think i'll stick with the Cirrus.

Hi, I've got a sweet old Gateway 2000 486/DX2 66MHz with a onboard Cirrus graphics card. I'm getting around 20 fps in Doom. Will upgrading the graphics card to, let's say, ATI Rage II actually improve fps? Since Doom is an all cpu-based game, would that game benefit anything with a faster graphics …

Hi, I'm trying to get the awesome sound from the DreamBlaster S2 on my Sound Blaster 16 ct2260 Vibra. I've connected it to the wave table header and made sure that the MIDI volume is up, but I'm not hearing any sound from any DOS game using General MIDI. Nor do I hear any sound from Win311 when …
