Good to know, thank you. In time (when the system comes to fruition) I'll let you guys know how it goes

I had problems with using it in DOS, but that was a system without a PnP manager. However, it was the only PnP card on the system, which apparently, shouldn't have been an issue. Doom engine notably wasn't generating midi on it. The card was discussed a little on a thread started by me a few years …
MS-DOS Mode load Awe64, Windows 95 loads Vortex2. Possible?
Posted on 2017-09-15, 01:48
I'm designing a machine and would like it to use the awe64 gold (ISA) for sound in DOS mode (I'd probably design the system to load directly in DOS), and then use an Aureal Vortex when in windows95. Both cards always plugged in. Is it possible?

That explains it. I should've checked Wikipedia instead of the little insert that came with my controller. Thanks.

Unfortunately, it looks like I would be mainly using it as a "soundblaster clone", in which case, I should just use a genuine noiseblaster. Thanks, though

CDBeQuiet is confirmed to operate with the SONY CDU701-Q (OEM for COMPAQ). Thank you very much! Is this a TSR? I'm not seeing it in my memory.

Who said a silent drive is a good thing? When i start my PC, I want everyone in my neighborhood to hear my retro muscle. I already modded my original Xbox to be as loud as possible.

By loud, I mean noise, gain, sounds always like everyone's talking through a poorly grounded microphone. I exaggerate, but I can hear it and find it somewhat bothersome. The WSS card is much cleaner, I never used trying emulate sound blaster, though. Vibra16 is also clean. For LucasArts games, any …

As mentioned, I often use mpu401. Redbook audio is often used as well. The sound card comes in for sound effects and speech. Even with genuine hardware, would I notice a difference between sb2.0 and the sbpro(or pro2) for those applications? Again, my point is I'll minimally use fm for music. My …

I heard about the stereo FM for sierra (for a model prior to the PAS16). But I use mpu401

Does PAS16 support the prior PAS (backwards compatibility)? I thought one of them was basically dual adlib

Not as many Lucasarts games supported as I hoped. Does Day of the Tentacle have *any* PAS support? Didn't see it on the box

Thank you. Can't test it at the moment, but if it fails, would the issue be strictly the drive -- or possibly the driver as well?
Secret of Monkey Island 486 patch

The link to download the 486 patch for the VGA version of Monkey Island now leads to some Disney BS. I don't know if this is appropriate, but if permitted, might I request that someone upload the patch, or, post a link. I found Indiana's on Vogons, but, can't find Monkey Island's. Thank you very …

Under windows 9x, there are softwares to slow down drives. Does the win9x software operate in MD-DOS 7? (that is, DOS mode for win9x -- not a pure DOS system) If I need a new drive, I might be able to use the old for my system that only runs win3.11 (on top of DOS). How does win3.11 handle this …

That's what I was about to ask. The drive is new and matches my case color, even has a yellow ID matching the APTIVA's other lights. The system is pure dos. I tried googling things like 'cdrom speed cap program dos' to no luck. I feel it's going to be a 50/50 chance whether or not the TSR exists. …

You're right... Suddenly the card sounds a lot less interesting. CT3900 it is!

Posted on 2017-09-12, 19:27
PAS16 was widely supported, has sbpro2.0 compatibility for legacy application, and isn't a noise blaster(so i heard). But i can't find much on the card, so what's the catch? Only downside I found is that it needs drivers. Any thoughts on this card?
