Found this interesting board. On the back is name Elpina, which is also manufacturer of a COAST module. Size of RAM is unknown (no stickers) and I have never seen CPU like this. I have to take one of my two working AT PSUs and test everything.

Re: Using Audigy 2 / X-Fi external boxes as MIDI devices for DOS games

Today I tested it and everything works great! I just ran SoftMPU on DOS PC and MIDIOX on Windows PC and just watched numbers on the screen :) The biggest difference is in the sound of drumkit. It sounds ALMOST like real one (especially cymbals) ;-) The big downside is that another PC must be running …

Ooooook, I changed 1869 for Labway made YMF719 and Gabriel is General MIDI positive now. I don't get it. Every other game works with ESS+S2 great... The problem is GK1 resets the mixer and ESS cards have the unfortunate default that AuxB (the port that WaveBlaster cards connect to) volume after a …
