What IRQ and I/O ranges is the sound card using? What happens if you remove the sound card?

Rust-Oleum has some textured spray paints. Or you could take it to a body shop to have it powder coated. Would be a lot more durable! (and expensive)

Your board is slightly different from mine (mine's like the shape of Utah), but I can try to get pics of how mine is set up (and the RadioShack 4-cell AA holder that I modded to work as a 3-cell battery).

Some 386 boards are bad with 16-bit DMA transfers (like the M-321, where sometimes you can have reboots running DIAGNOSE). Try other HDMA channels; if you don't get satisfactory results, use the DMA channel for the HDMA channel (match HX to DX).

YAME, the name may stand for "an abbreviation for weather forecast" according to the defunct site . Or maybe the Yame city in the Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. Not sure. I'd have guessed that it took cues from MAME and YaST: MAME = Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator YaST= Yet another Setup Tool YAME …

Re: T-398 turbo switch help
Posted on 2021-05-03, 13:40
It always seemed a bit odd calling it a turbo button. That sounds like something that should only be used for short periods, rather than something that was left on nearly all the time, except for running games that ran too fast. I guess marketing didn't want to call it the slow button. So having …

I have this little buddy on an M-321 v2.7. I have it set so when the Turbo switch is on (latched in), it's in the high speed mode. The case Turbo LED is hooked up to the T-398, and is OFF when in high speed mode (button depressed) The display reads 40. When in "slow" mode (button OUT), the Turbo LED …

You could make a Win98 startup diskette to experiment with the exclusions in EMM386.EXE. To get started with boot menus when booting from the hard drive, remove the S H R attributes from MSDOS.SYS (attrib -s -h -r msdos.sys) in the root of C:, then edit MSDOS.SYS. Under [Options] set BootMenu=1 and …

Yes, use a crossover cable between them. You can then use arp -a to find the IP for it by looking for the camera's physical address in the list.
