Re: What Microsoft Office bundle are these disks from?

Probably from a bundle that was included with a OEM system by a small reseller.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Does the H8's limited calculation abilities also explain why the encryption Roland used is fairly weak? Point 2) makes me wonder about something. The SC55 and similar have a second LFO that is accessible only via sysex. From your explanation, the H8 would only …

H8/532 CPU that SC-55 use has internal 32K mask ROM that is true, but in this 32K the MIDI interface is implemented. On service notes of sc55 the H8 is not involved in sound-generation. Er...something has to tie together all of the ROM and other chips, and that would be the CPU. Of course it is …
Re: Voyetra Sequencer says: "Sound Blaster cannot receive and transmit MIDI simultaneously."

That's why you use MIDI THRU to send your keyboard to both the sequencer and the module at the same time. Unfortunately I'm limited by my input devices - an entry level Behringer keyboard and a Rock Band guitar, both with MIDI out ports only. Wouldn't the wiring be: MIDI Keyboard [MIDI Out] -> [ …

Meh. I’m against the Right to Repair. Nothing more to say since all I could’ve said was said in another thread. EU never gets a vote about technology right, since their parliament is *cough* full of couch tech experts *couch* Yeah, just like the GDPR was a total failure. Oh wait, it was not, and …

Planned obsolescence is too hard to implement outside of strictly controlled ecosystems. Not really. Since alot of products are getting more and more "app" integrated. For instance take boardgames, many of them now requires an app. A company could have a strategy saying that products are only …
Re: Installing Win95 on externally connecyed HDD

No all external enclosures (USB, Firewire) are bootable. This depends on the enclosure's chipset AND the system's BIOS AFAIK. The enclosure's chipset should support booting, and the system's BIOS must support booting over the chosen interface (i.e. USB or Firewire).

@2FF80 there is: "SC-88 Ver101" yes, but what I wonder, which device is "SC-88 Ver200", because in your ROMs we have "SC-88 Ver101" and "Roland XP-GS 1.00", while in "S CCore.dll" from "Roland Sound Canvas VA VSTi Plugin" it's Ver200 and "Roland XP-GS 1.01". maybe, it's still SC-88, just newer/ …

When the bit about address lines came up and service manuals schematics were posted I had a look at the JV35/50 service manual to see whether that would be of any help, since JV35 and JV50 are basically the SC55Mk. II ROM (minus MT32 part) on SC88 hardware. Unfortunately on that synth the ROM is …

The SC88 also has other IC differences from the SC55, such as a different CPU (incidentally the same as used in the JV1080), so different addressing might not be too much of a surprise.
