[I just tested these in an IBM 5170 and 5162 motherboard. I haven't been able to get either to work. Not sure why, because it seems odd it wouldn't work with the blueprint for all other 286s. I also expected that its working on the IBM. Did you try to exchange the Hi/Lo-ROMs? Any display on the …

Cool. Then you were lucky that the PC it was previously installed in had the same amount of RAM. This card should also support EMS, for this you will need a driver.

Yes, I was able to listen to MOD4WINs software mixing using the Ultrasound-Wave-output driver as shown in the screenshot.

Thanks for the links, Sammler, didnt know such small devices exist. They seem to be also very usable for ISA-PCs without needing an additional power cable. For Win9X / PCI systems this card I have currently on my desk seems to be nice, but there may be others: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f= …

Yes, Hercules and VGA can coexist, i had this for long time in my PC until i moved to PCI only System. Do they coexist in this PC? You could try to boot with Hercules as primary adapter and init VGA from DOS after booting. Would be interested if this is possible. If the XT-BIOS prevents the VGA …
