You tried this one already: https://thinkpads.com/support/Thinkpad-Driver … es/1rd637ww.exe? I am using this one on an IBM T42 laptop without problems. Don't know if the inf file likes your card though.

Tried setymf.exe on my laptop today and found a bug. I can't disable the GamePort option. It will always save the default or custom port but never none. If I go to none it will redraw the screen and puts the text under the AdLib section but saving that will save the custom port and not Disabled. I …

YMF71x allows a conf without PnP EEPROM and these Toshiba laptops are making use of it. Yamaha's utils and drivers can talk to the chip in such a state, and my SETYMF util should also be able to get a successful conf in such cases (but I have no hardware to explicitly test it). Tried your util but …

Tried to use UNISOUND today on a Toshiba Satellite 310CDT laptop which has an OPL-SA3 chipset. Unfortunately got the error: No PnP sound card detected. The OPL-SA3 chipset is supported of course but should it work with this laptop as well? The Yahama SETUPSA application initializes the card …

Out of interest what was the c310T like before you tried this? Did it show anything on screen? Or did it appear dead with just the power led? It started normally with a Toshiba splash screen and then a password prompt. I knew the user password but not the supervisor password. After messing around …

The parallel port method also worked on my 310CDT. Used some solder wires as I didn't have enough paper clips. :) For future reference note where pin 1 is located. Above pics worked perfectly. First time I mirrored it the wrong way as I looked at another guide without pics. No harm was done but it …

Looks nice but it's a shame it doesn't support XYZMODEM protocols anymore. Is it going to be added in the future? Is there a "killer" feature to use this instead of SyncTERM?

Got an auto switching KVM for my really old retro hardware but the KVM for my more "modern" hardware is not auto switching so you need to use buttons to switch to the correct pc. It has only 4 inputs but even then I can't seem to remember it so made some labels.

Will install the card later today and let you know. What should running ESSVOL.EXE tell us? It seems to indicate whether your revision of the Solo-1 chip supports AudioDrive emulation. It will either say "Cannot find the AudioDrive." or it will let you read/set the mixer volume levels. I am …

Bought this one but didn't test it yet. Don't see a model name on it as described earlier. Saw in another forum topic it could be a Creative Labs card (MPB-000092)? But that was for version 1.10. This is a 1.1 card. So not really sure. Sound cards with part numbers starting MPB- look like they are …

Tried it in VirtualBox and got the same problem with DR-DOS 3.41. Also used OAKCDROM.SYS but used MSCDEX.EXE version 2.25. Don't know what the problem is but my guess is with the unsupported MSCDEX (or alternatives) calls. Needed to set the /L:D parameter for example. If not it would try to use A: …

If you still want a thin client look for a HP ThinClient T5710 or something like that. It has a parallel port. Got mine pretty cheap a couple of weeks ago so it may be even cheaper then buying a parallel port card.

A 'C' on the solder mask indicates this is a capacitor, not a resistor. Checking for C68 on the Creative card with similar (identical?) layout in https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=73378 it appears to be a 100nF 25V X7R ceramic in 0603 package size. Edited to refer to the right card layout. …
