Hi What do You recommend for DOS games capture, that support text mode 720x400@70Hz for less than $50? I have bought these Chinese grabber, but it doesn't support more than 60 Hz Look for a good deal on a Datapath E1S . Usually they are about 100$ or less on used market. They are PCI Express. A …

Right, optical is lossless. As is coaxial S/PDIF, as long the recording sound device a) does not resample (looking at you, SB Live! and Audigy variants ) b) properly synchronizes with the source's clock . AFAICT, cheap CMI CM6206 based USB sound cards fit the bill and support both 44.1KHz and 48KHz …

Related issue: How are people recording Windows audio nowadays? In the XP era you would use the Stereo Mix/"What U Hear" recording device as an audio input. This has been entirely removed from modern Windows versions though. I normally just launch one of my retro machines when I want to do this, …

Theres some PCI to 8 Bit ISA adaters on aliexpress. Not sure the last intel chipset that supported PCI/ISA bridges tho. Could work with a riser + Ribbon. https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1v9avcUWF3KVjSZPhq6xclXXaJ.jpg I doubt any of those would support ISA DMA without some kind of modification (if at …

I sent an email to 7 music stores asking them if they have in their warehouse a Roland CM64. Two of them answered me that they don't have, the other never answered me and one told me that they have new and sealed bought years ago from USA :). Fortune favors the bold. Good for you on your initiative …

It is definitely possible to find a motherboard and expansion card set that is stable at with a 40 MHz FSB. Find that is probably easier to finding a 486 set that works well with a 66 Mhz FSB. I had such a setup in the mid nineties : - A SIS 496 based board - AMD 586 133MHz CPU running at 160 MHz ( …

No I’m not joking mate. I’m actually looking for a board that can run the PCI bus at 33 and CPU at 66 so it’s stable. From what I’ve read even at 40 the PCI bus is unstable. If you want to teach me something go ahead. Or even better sell me a board suitable for overclocking ;) These threads should …

For sure :) I added a new MIDI toy to my collection last week, but an internal one - a PCI sound card with Yamaha YMF744 DS-XG chip. It is a great sounding card. One of my favourite tests is Descent, and it's a brutal test because nothing really comes close to the SC-55. The YMF744 was superb in …
