Suddenly I'm getting this error that GUS is not responding on port 220 but in 200?!? Edit: with emm386.exe it works on port 220 but only with himem.sys it gives that error, this is strange... Edit2: and after few boots the same error with emm386.exe too. This started with the sb-firmware.

Ordinary day at the home office. My pimped Toshiba T5200 plays tracker music through PicoGUS. It had GUS MAX earlier but PicoGUS fits in the 8bit slot and network card can take the 16bit one. Looking forward for the SB-firmware, MAXSBOS worked quite good here.

This is an old thread but just hits my situation perfectly. Same mobo, 750MHz Athlon (512KB) and only card I can get this to windows desktop is Voodoo 3 😂 It's just unbelievable how crap this mobo is. But, 2 ISA-slots! So Voodoo 3 it is.

I'm getting T3200 today. What is known to work is HDD and screen. Floppy not tested and CMOS battery dead. Only 1MB RAM. I have already T3200SX and T5200. Both have modded BIOS with XTIDE and bigger HDDs. T5200 has Ti486SXL2/40 with cache flush circuit soldered on bottom of the motherboard. 10GB HDD …

First time testing SPDIF output and it's very quiet, too quiet. Need to set volume to the max from amplifier. All the volume levels are top notch from the analog side of the card. Any ideas? Edit: orpheus.ini is ok. Volume levels are ok from analog output but digital output is lot quieter. Other …

We had problems with my friend's PicoGUS v2, only game where sound worked was Pinball Illusions, others were silent or crash. Port 240, IRQ 7 and DMA 3. SB AWE32 was 220, 5, L1, H5. Really strange, why one game works and no other... But we sorted it out, friend had disabled all serial ports and …

But are those faster 3.3ns chips Etrontech or something else? I have one 8500 non-LE with 3.6ns Hynix.

If all the chips (GF1 etc.) on the GUS are socketed then pressing those down may help.

SCSI-Windows driver is hardcoded to port 340h and if my GUS PnP is at 240h then the Codec address is 340h and problems. So needed to take GUS to 250h so Codec is 350h and almost everything works but some software just dont work if GUS is at port 250h...

Ordered! I have lots of original GUS and GUS MAX cards, few GUS PnP replicas too :) I just have a fetish for GUS. Read that compatiblity list from github and there was Star Control 2 listed and it has that plays whole gus memory glitch. I can say that this happens with real gus too, I think it has …

Do you mean SCSI or GUS? SCSI-settings are unchangeable. Tried to change the port straight in .inf file but no help, I think the 340h is hard coed in the driver itself and that's it. I don't even have driver installed for GUS in Windows, no use for it. With GUS I set the Synth address to 250 so …

I have a problem with ICL D4/66d XGI computer. It has built-in SCSI which works at port 340h, IRQ 11 and DMA 6. I can change those in BIOS but Windows driver settings are hard coded so those are the only settings I can use. Problem is that GUS PnP codec address is 34c. How to change that? Tried to …
