I did many testing with jemmex, jemm386 and himemx with no results at all. With jemmex only I get a strange error message from omf209 For some reasons I had to go and change "PNP/PCI CONFIGURATION" in the bios and think there is maybe something here. I'll have to refresh my memory about "PNP OS …

Funny story, I was at job and needed to stop and buy a power supply and think it would be nice to grab two silent fan to replace them on the optiplex gxpro as yesterday I fixed some wiring on the sbawe32 to have it sound more clear and I noticed how noisy the old fans where. So I look at the manual …

could also be like that: quick visit to your local pawnshop and buy a cheap second hand mixer. just sayin ;) How are your mt-32 and sc-33 wired, midi wise ? Do you use the midithru of a device? Sorry to bother you with all my questions but your setup is nearly identical to one I once had. Do you …

Oh yeah! and from what I've read the connector already has the correct pinout for one of the three molex type in the ultrasound max that I beleive you have! ... oops the awe32 ?

Yes that's what I intend to try next. If my memory is good, I once try to use the emm386.exe that came with the ultrasound in an effort to test mega-em, but I dont remember clearly... I think maybe the odd version of emm386 that ship with megaem might be faulty. From what I've read on the freedos …

just drill a hole or use a spacer who used to hold a vga card for instance and solder a mini-molex to a male 1/8 phono jack. Molex pins are easy to edit but better have it right first, the pinout on the card is usually silk marked on the card or is very easy to guess from the pcboard, you could use …

I just did some work on the machine 2 tonight and give OMF a try and it was working both in sb16 and gus classic mode! I think I understand why: I loaded EMS. I never have the reflex to load emm386 when I want to play a video game. I'm not so sure about how to load EMS in freedos but I'll seek in …

nice job! It's quite hard to set an exact goal with that kind of quest as computers are ever evolving while dragging compatibility from the past technologies. Your setup is very tidy with all the tie-wrap and seem clean, I would trust it would work. I had that kind of cooler on a pentium-1 and I …

They is some way to use some other audio jack on the sound card (micro for exemple) as another line in? I use the line-in or the cd-rom in of my gus classic to input the line-out of a sbawe32, but I find myself always in the sbawe32 or gus mixer to adjust the level, sound too low and I amplify the …

Look like the only player on os2warp4 to deal with hardware mixing for module would be ultimod gus edition, found nothing about the creativeLabs emu?k. Does os2warp4 support well midi with soundbank management ? Midi Mapper ? I was considering installing it on a ppro200mhz 96mb ram, but the demo …
