Can you show your Nec SD adapter? You can find a trial version of Cardware 7.0 at tssc.de, give it a try.

That sounds just great, now do I need one or would have I the use for one, and I'm afraid the answer is probably not, other interests and all that. Still going to answer your survey. And I posted a link to your video on a french forum where some people might be interested.

-Roland SCP-55 SoundCanvas and MPU-401 GM device in DOS + digital audio in Win3.x/Win9x I find it very interesting that the SCP-55 is capable of digital audio in addition to wavetable MIDI. How does the sound compare to RAP-10? In fact, with the MCB-3, you got PCM, MPU-401 and Sound Canvas in one. …

Anonymous Coward wrote on 2024-02-01, 14:12: As far as I know, trio32/64 doesn’t support ISA natively. Are you sure the card wasn’t cardbus? The best s3 should be the 928. The 801 was their slowest. It was definitely not cardbus, you can see the benchmarks results in the link in my signature.
