Hi folks! I've bought a 8086 not so long ago. It's small, it's cute, and it's not working the way i like it :sad: First of all, here's some picture of it ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ). I've searched a lot for the jumper guide of the manual, without any luck. The shape of the board is like a full length, …

Well, you were right. I've tried it yesterday. It's a simple adlib clone, so nothing interesting. 😒

Thx for the replies. I also thought that the big ic must be some kind of an OPL2 chip (clone), but why would somebody fake a chip to some other (in that case also unusable and "less advanced")? Labeling some low cost ic to some more expensive one, is a "better" way of faking something, then this way …

Instead of opening a new topic, I'm putting an unidentified sound card here. So, here it is. http://lh4.ggpht.com/_tt3U_uhH7aY/TBDlwd4WQOI/AAAAAAAAGY8/v3-h62vHHhM/s640/DSC01688.jpg It's fully loaded with 74LS* ic (which is a ttl gate ic), so it's a kind of isa covox, or at least that's what I think. …

Only the video shadow turned on, but nothing else. After turning on all shadow option, nothing changed. Except my One Must Fall 2097 savegame 😉

In these countries, which was behind the iron curtain 20 years ago, these roland modules considered as very rare stuffs. I'm feeling lucky, having an mt-32, and still hunting for a lapc-1 to my 386. While the Gravis sound cards much more common here, because they were made after the fall of the iron …

Do you use one of the faster VGA cards like an ET4000AX ? Yes, I've tried. Same cpu performance, same char/sec vga performance as a newer cirrus logic isa vga (the isa bus is the bottleneck). Do you use a Gravis Ultrasound that does channel mixing in hardware? Yep. But i didn't noticed a big …

Seems to be an Anchor Electronics J98MF-002. I've got a smaller version of this (pic).

So it seems your system runs well. It's quite interesting, but the facts are facts. What about the bios options? For me, they seems to be fine. Do you have any idea, which one should i change for a little more performance?

I've done some tests. Speedsys: picture Norton SI7 summary: ********************** * System Summary * ********************** --------------------- Computer --------------------- Computer Name: IBM AT or compatible Built-in BIOS: AMI, Saturday, June 6, 1992 Main Processor: 80386DX, 40 MHz Math Co- …

Well, try some more modern program for comparison benchmarks. The problem with these programs, that i didn't use them that time. They give me a benchmark result, which means nothing to me. But of course I'm gonna try them tomorrow, to compare with your results. Check first if the MHz really matches …

Hi there! I've decided to rebuild my first pc, an amd 386dx40. I'd bought the same midi at enclosure, after I've found a motherboard very similar to my ex 386's motherboard. It is a noname motherboard, with IIT fpu, 8mb ram, 128k cache. After I've installed the remaining parts and etc., it seemed to …
