nope, not yet... I assume Chuck(G) hasn't look at it yet, he has some more work before that... and personally I am not bugging him about that since there is no real hurry and he is infact doing a favor to the community :) If it wasn't for him then noone would have a clone chip :D so let him take his …

interesting... too much custom made, looks like an industrial/controller pc converted to desktop or something

^ True but I have seen ATX1.0 psus that don't have the -5v line (mainly cheap ones that came with pre-built systems, plenty of them here...) It would worth checking this also just to rule out possibilities....
Re: Sound Blaster CT1350B

a thought occurred: what about the -5v line on the psu? both cards AFAIR need -5v, maybe (most likely) Stojke uses an ATX psu without this line?

Either both sound cards are faulty or the motherboard is. - Do the cards work in another pc? - Do other cards work on your motherboard? you dont't need anything special to put a SB in a pc, even if there is an IRQ conflict that won't stop the pc from booting.

just a small update, Chuck(G) notified me he received the rev0 card I sent him, all we need now is to wait patiently and hopefully he will find out what is wrong 😀
Re: Why win3.11 midi mapper is such a mess with a SB16+DB50XG and a LAPC-I installed?
Posted on 2012-03-23, 07:32
I can't comment to the Basic Midi stuff but I assume they might work with some ol program or was a common setup or something along those lines... It's a pity OPLx goes so much unnoticed but I speculate ms did not bother writing more maps/settings for them since the "serious" user of the era would …

yep at the end I restored from my install disks AdamP ... and it was way more easier to add the SB16 info to it than doing the opposite to the sb16 .cfg

@Great Hierophant: I guess you are correct but there is abysmal difference between the 2 configs... the stock 3.x midimap.cfg has a complete setup of patch maps and key maps and redirects the lapc-i channels to mt-32 patch maps - and there is a specific one called "mt32 percussion" for the one you …

I resorted to manually add the SB16 information in the original 3.11 midimap.cfg that has extended setups and patches... In case anyone cares in the future, I have attached the file here: have SB16 installation complete and overwrite midimap.cfg, then just overwrite with the one in the zip to have …

Hiya! today I installed win3.11 on my p200mmx dos machine... everything runs OK but I don't really get the MIDI MAPPER stuff... let me explain with nice pictures :happyhappy: a : this is the midi mapper without the SB16 installed, it has some default devices and I just added LAPC-I (driver in …
