Re: PAS 16 WfW 3.11 frustrations

Posted on 2021-09-18, 15:16

Back to the OP's topic, I recently installed my PAS16 into a DOS/WFW 3.11 system so I thought I should share what I did. My card is a PAS16 with the SCSI interface. I am the original owner of this card from the early 90s, still have the box, mic and install floppies. For the recent installation I …

Re: VGA Bios Upgrade: FX5900 to FX5950U ?

Thank you for the responses,, this group never seems to disappoint on the technical side of things. From the old forum posts I read, I was of the impression that the FX5900 (non-ultra) and 5950 Ultra had the same Silicon, the difference was in the Bios settings, Vram capacity and the cooler which …

VGA Bios Upgrade: FX5900 to FX5950U ?

Posted on 2021-08-27, 18:11

This was a hot topic ~2004 on some old forums. Of course, none of the old download links are active any more to get a 5950 Ultra Bios, flashing tool. and detailed instructions. Techpowerup VGA Bios collection only goes back to 6 series (so close). People seemed to have wanted the Leadtek A380U Bios, …

Re: Retro computer builds that surprised you the most because they worked better than expected

Posted on 2021-07-07, 20:36

I like this thread. My example is more of a non-build, cheap old OEM PC. I picked up a little pizza box style, ca 1993 office desktop with 8MB RAM, 486slc25, no L2 cache. Made by Samsung. I know this thing was made to sit on a desk in an office somewhere running Wordperfect and Lotus 123. It has …

Re: Alternatives to a real Roland SC-55

Posted on 2021-05-27, 20:51

There are alternate external MIDI devices that support GM/GS that may sell for less $ than an SC-55. I purchased a Roland SC-33 from that auction site in 2020 for $45, there are threads that discuss this one and other compatible devices. It sounds just like an SC-55 to my ears. I had to buy the …

Re: PCMIDI with Roland RA50

Posted on 2021-04-28, 14:36

I will be trying Softmpu together with PCMIDI, just when using the RA-50. Do you think that will work? You might ask, why even have the PCMIDI in that case? It is still useful as is with my miniPC with MUNT, and it will be the only MIDI interface connected from that PC. I use a MIDI signal combiner/ …

Re: PCMIDI with Roland RA50

Posted on 2021-04-14, 14:41

Thanks for responding keropi. I have read the thread that you referenced, it seems the issue with RA50 is "Real MT-32 but you have to use SoftMPU with them because they don't support the All Notes Off command". I was wondering if there is similar functionality which might work with PCMIDI since it …

PCMIDI with Roland RA50

Posted on 2021-04-14, 01:24

I am aware that SoftMPU and also HardMPU have specific support fur using the Roland RA50 as a MIDI module for games using the /RA50 command line switch. Would the RA50 work well with a PCMIDI (or Orpheus) card ? I have been searching but have not located this information. I have recently acquired an …
