What are the specs of the rest of your system? What cards do you already own?

The BIOS on the card being corrupted could cause that.

I wonder if that came in a bundle with Pirates! Gold. Looking on eBay, there was a Triple Pack that came with Pirates! On an HD disk. The label is not exactly the same though.

Ahh, thanks for the info. Makes me even more disappointed that I didn't get one with the effects board.

In expanded form (that is, with the 512KB RAM and YSS225 daughterboards), Mediatrix' Audiotrix Pro is arguably a more-complete OPL4 reference architecture than the SW20-PC. I had to google for the card LOL Does it have any gaming value? Any idea how it's software/toys look like? I am very familiar …

What is the reasoning behind wanting a super low wattage Windows 98 machine? Countrys like Germany, are having very high energy prices, because of the ukraine war, so I can understand this. A Mini PC with a first generation Intel Atom single core should be also a good choice, but I don't know how …

Are you looking for earliest General MIDI or just any type of MIDI? And what do you mean by "average program"? Are we talking games or music software or what?

Re: Sound Blaster Live Gold CT4620 + CT4620 daughter board connecting to a Roland MPU-401
Posted on 2023-07-07, 20:56
There are conflicting reports about the Live / Audigy cards supporting external devices under DOS. I have not tried it myself. You will need to aquire or make an adapter for the MIDI port as the CT4660 and even the 5.25" drive bay expansions for the Live / Audigy cards use a mini-din to din adapter …

What MPU-401 model do you have? If it is the one that does the processing in the box itself, that requires a special interface card to hook up to. The SB Live has a built in UART midi port and will not work with the MPU-401 box. There are also multiple different MPU-401 breakout boxes that work with …

I just recently shipped 2 RDRAM sticks to Italy and it cost $18.53 US. Guessing shipping a motherboard would be $ …

Also up for grabs are a bunch of Black 5.25" SATA optical drives. DVD/CD or DVD/CD-RW or DVD-RW/CD-RW. If anybody actually wants to pay shipping for one or more of these and wants pictures or brand/model numbers I can post those.

I've got a 486 board that can trick a Cyrix 5x86 to go all the way down to 2Mhz. Totally useless for running anything at that speed.
