Hi all I believe that DOS 7.1 (which supports FAT32) is included in Windows 98. So, what is the best way to split, for example, a 120GB HDD for a Windows 98 machine for use on both the Win and DOS sides? Should I just use max partition size of the whole disk? Would this cause any issues in DOS (pure …

Thanks guys, done some googling and re-read the manual. The cable labelled 'Connect to MIDI IN' IS actually the MIDI out and should be connected to the IN on the back of the sound module. After doing this, I was really scratching my head for a while as I STILL wasn't getting anywhere. Turns out, the …

Whether you get audio or not is not an issue - that's just analogue cabling; what you need to make sure if that your modules are getting MIDI messages; my guess is that they are not, at present. Swap the Roland connection, I'm almost 100% convinced you've got it the wrong way around. You need to …

Hi guys, I've finally gotten around to hooking up all my gear that I've had in storage for ages. It's been a very long time Indeed since I dabbled with all things MIDI, so bear with me. I'm unable to get anything out of my sound modules and so wanted to confirm if the below config looks correct? PC …

Thanks guys, appreciate that. The kit is decent - Belkin KVM and a powered VGA splitter - pretty sure Mr Phil had a thread about a Star Tech VGA splitter when I was searching the forums earlier. The CRTs are different max resolution (the Formac one is higher). The VGA splitter suggests using the …

Hi guys, Thoughts on the below: x3 PC's (98 rig, XP rig and Thin client running Win7 and DOSBox) > Belkin KVM (F1DB104P2EAB) > StarTech VGA splitter (ST122PROGB) > x2 CRTs. The reason for this configuration is so I'd be able to select between my Iiyama Vision Master and Formac Pronitron CRTs (one …

Excellent stuff. Will I be able to install my ESS Audodrive ISA soundcard for use in DOS mode or would I require more steps? I find ESS drivers even easier to install than the Creative drives. ESS cards also tend to have great compatibility with DOS games! Find the DOS drivers here http:// …

Hi guys, Are there are any stickies or obvious tutorials/guides within these hallowed pages for using DOS mode under Windows 98? Also, what are the main issues/limitations/key differences of using a full DOS install on a separate machine vs DOS Mode on 98? Thank you

You guys that have purchased a Roland RA-50, be sure to let us know the score on whether the unit includes the sound effects, as per CM-32L... Thanks

How did you get on with your newly purchased RA-50 and did you confirm if the additional sound effects were present in the machine? I’m also considering getting one as they are considering cheaper than 2nd hand MT-32’s Thank you

Looking like the Omnitronic is a sound choice with some favourable reviews around. One thing I have noted, however, is that quite a few folk complain about audio leaking through on these compact mixers, even when the pots are all the way down; seems to be relatively common across various makes/ …

Great advice, thanks mate! I’ll have a thorough look at all of them, but good to know that each or these will, essentially, serve my requirements! Oh I should have added that I need RCA inputs on the mixer as I’ve ordered 3.5mm > dual RCA cables for outputting the audio from the 2 audio switch boxes …
