I have the Toshiba 3100sx and 3200, both with orange plasmas. Would you like me to tear down and have a look at these? The 3100sx is DOA atm anyway. I will have to find time for it, though.. Also got some Compaq SLT stuff and an Olivetti with LCDs. These are 386 machines from ~91. Thanks for …

Excellent, thank you very much! I will test the drivers as you asked and share the results. Please be patient, though - my time with my retro machines is very random and I have a business trip planned this week. So if I don't manage to do it today, the earliest next option is some time next week …

I bought this card for 7EUR/8USD, including postage. It has just arrived. Could you suggest where to get DOS drivers for it? I tried googline " Aztech Multimedia Pro 16 Dos Drivers" but all I could find was http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=6 which does not open for some reason and …

As some of you already know, I am very interested in old laptops with weird displays. Early LCDs, plasma monitors (love these!) and electroluminescent displays. So far I've only found information about three types that would have it in some variants: GRiD Compass II and Compass 1101 (x86, GridOS) …

Nice work. What are your opinions on the displays as well as the CGA vs EGA on the T5100 plasma screen? I see the noticeable differences, but I imagine (as with all pictures of a display) it is better to see it in person. Thanks! Metal Mutant looks the best on T5100 screen in CGA mode. That's …

I have finally managed to get both my T3100e and T5100 up and running. The first thing that I wanted to do for a long time was to compare how games look on their screens. T3100 has CGA and monochrome gas-plasma monitor, so four CGA colors are displayed by dithering black and orange dots. T5100 has …

I consider the Aztech range of sound cards to be one of the best Sound Blaster clones that were around in the 90's (especially the ones with the AZT-2316 chipset, like this model). I have a number of them and they have served me well over the years (my first sound card was one of the 1st generation …

Thanks, jesolo. I am actually looking for a decent Sound Blaster clone for DOS gaming. I intend to put it in Toshiba T3200SX (luggable with ISA slot and plasma screen). The key things are compatibility and price, then the sound quality.

Thanks a lot for all the replies. Seems like a mid-level SB Pro clone, so nothing special, really.

So, would you recommend to go for it and buy it?

I cannot find one, but I've googled indeed it looks similar to Aztech Galaxy cards. Photo attached.

I have an opportunity to buy Packard-Bell sound card with OPL3 (ymf262-m chip) and Crystal (cs4231a-kl) for like 7EUR / 8USD. Is it worth it? Based on chips alone it should be decent one, but perhaps someone has actually tested it?
