Ok.. maybe the SB Live card is having some weird compatibility issue then... could be something to do with IRQ sharing. Where are you located?

I just pulled some SMD caps that were physically the correct size off of a junk board and mounted them to the riser. The spots will be labeled C(whatever) on whatever board you decide to pull them off of. Or you could measure the pads on the riser and order some but I doubt it would make any …

I'm going to buy a different creative, with lower specs, to see if that works... mine needs PCI 2.1 and maybe thats part of the problem... I cant get a Solo, way too expensive for me to get... And I'll order a riser just like the one Phil used too next, after that I'm sticking with the internal …

Just tried that... Had the same capacitors arround, populated the riser card... and no change at all... My Sound Blaster Live 5.1 SB0100 works fine in another desktop, borrowed from a friend today, and works flawlessly... The sound on that desktop is onboard and so I don't have access to another …
Re: Diamond Monster Fusion AGP and 3DFX PCI repair help needed
Posted on 2019-09-02, 03:31
I have a Diamond Monster Fusion and all those caps should be the same value. Really, as long as you have something the same size or a little bigger it should work fine. I had to add/replace those tiny caps on a few things and unless you have the actual design documents or the equipment to test the …

Finally, a thread where Intel486dx33 doesn't contribute anything about iPads (no offense, your information is still worth reading) :happy: Back on topic, it's not surprising that 24GB RAM is the most memory anyone would ever see on a computer. Some people use 64GB RAM, even though they might not …

Well.. I wish we had the availability of old cases over here that you apparently have over there. In any case, that Slot-A Athlon 500 most likely has a 650 core in it. Easy enough to take the casing off and resolder the jumper resisters... even easier if you have a goldfinger device. As for those …

You need to add capacitors to the stock PCI riser board. I doubt a generic one will work properly with sound cards. See this thread: Low volume out of Cobra AW744L II card
Re: Where can I find "AMIBCP" (for DOS) ?
Posted on 2019-08-31, 17:36
Why are you after these at all? They were made for OEMs to customize the BIOS. If you just want to change extended settings, AMI-Setup is all you need. Because we like stuff like this. And why would we always want to run AMI-Setup? Unlocking the settings in the BIOS is a better solution. I used to …

Since you are all talking about the old versions of BCP and AMIBCP, can we get the ones you do have put into a package to download somewhere? There are a few versions mentioned that I don't have and can't find a download for.

Try my old prime number sieve program. It can use that much RAM and more. It can also use more CPU cores than any computer has.. except for maybe some of the super computers. Even then, the current theoretical limit of threads is (2^32)-1.. and that is only because I used a 32-bit unsigned integer …

Ok... not 100% sure about how stuff is setup when they changed the name to Miles Sound System. However, if you have a game that has some file that have a .dig extension and uses SETSOUND.EXE to setup the sound device, you should be able to add Wavejammer support to it if it doesn't already support …

... the Wavjammer as a good number of DOS late 486/early Pentium era games have direct support for it.. I was trying to find games that actually support the Wavjammer card. As I understood theese are games that have AIL/Miles Sound System support: https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/sound-engine- …

Seller's pic was definitely clear enough. I asked them for a better pic since the original was really bad. It is the same exact card. Seller's pic: Filename s-l1600.jpg File size 409.52 KiB Views 746 views Also, the Zoltrix site and the manual both state that it is stereo.

I'm not sure exactly if it is a voice modem but the FM synth is pretty good. The Quantum Fireball 6.8GB drive came today and after installing Windows 95 it started making weird noises... write to C: errors, bam. RIP. Of course the FM synth is pretty good. They licensed the OPL3 from Yamaha so it is …

Yep.. if you go to the web page that has pics of those cards, the layout in the manual is the AV206.

My CT2290 also picks up ISA bus interference in the form of hisses and clicks on 286-386-486 motherboards. It's just the way Creative Labs junk rolls. The real problem is that the motherboards should have good filtering designed into them. So it wasn't just Creative's problem. Get a board that …
