Sir, have you seen this sound card? Chip-wise, it strongly resembles the original Terratec Maestro 16 and Cards known as "Gallant 6000", among other names. - Crystal CS4248 Chip, yet the Crystal logo replaced by an "E" in the same font. - C-Media ASC-9308 Controller, yet branded "1993 GALLANT" - …

Ah, the memories. My parents (and their sons) used the exact same setup from '93 to '97. Not a Highscreen (possibly taken from one), but the same Oktek Jaguar V and the original OTIVGA 2D-Decelerator® - equipped with a whopping 256 kb. Was fine in MoO and UFO, but switched to slideshow mode …

No you just need a 3x2 straight through ribbon cable. They will most certainly not be called SBLINK or PC/PCI cables...that is long, long dead technology those only weirdos like us know about. Sure, which is why I looked for "Flachbandkabel 2x3" on Reichelt. Granted, those on Ebay even ship for …

No luck on those chinese ones, at least not under the name "sb_link cable" Found a German mailorder, though. Didn't test it, but should do the trick for € 1,99 + shipping: https://www.reichelt.de/pfostenverbinder-2-54 … 66-p262788.html

My GA-BX2000 Board (440BX Slot 1) has one, too. https://download1.gigabyte.com/Files/Manual/motherboard_manual_bx2000_1101_e.pdf (pg. 37, 39) Wouldn't it be nice to have all these infos in a clean list on the first page of this thread, or maybe the wiki, like this list: https://www.vogonswiki.com/ …

...or you could just saw a random old floppy cable or COM breakout into pieces or go to town with a soldering iron ;) Nobody has a pinout, ever. Everyone has a continuity tester!

That blue part on the Case just kills me. Does it get any more "90s" than that? Kudos on keeping the RAM amount real. Sound card mainly boils down to personal taste and focus of software. An early SB live would be period correct and provide modern effects in later game. Maybe combined with an ISA or …

most Linux installation come with grub. I use it for almost the same thing on my "normal" PC, starting Ubuntu from the SSD or Windows from the HDD. Never had any issues. You can set a default and countdown, so all you need to do is turn on the machine. IIRC, it pretty much recognizes and …

These nicer SS7-Chips have become rather scarce. Mystery sound card, but probably called "MediaForte SoundForte 16 MCD". Bit of a surprise as it is from August 94 (fcc id) and yet has fill jumper non-pnp outfit. IDE still lacking.

"necro" - nice word. Won't this do the trick? https://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/E/E … -486-486SX.html

So sorry I forgot about all this. Still have the CMS-401 II. Still someone listening in here? Photos of card and box. In what I'd consider "high res" for internet standards. (Not sure what this forum supports as attachments, don't like upload portals for linking too much, but recommendations welcome …

http://www.oldschooldaw.com/forums/index.php?topic=2564.msg2719#msg2719 (the chart is what im trying to post here, comparing the music quest card to voyetra card, to the cms card) im also curious if anyone has ever seen one of these CMS-401 because i cant find anything on these cards except …

i have the almost same card but VE.1 with all the jumper settings printed on the pcb. Still have the card? I could post a photo of mine. -
