Earlier, I tried using OnTrack Disk Manager, being very similar, but it seemed to fail as well, I am starting to wonder if the CF Card got corrupted and needs a low-level format. Last time I tried zeroing the drive, it got stuck at 5% so I had to hard reset (no disk activity of any sort).

I am using a 2gb CF card, and I have tried fdisk /mbr a few times, but it doesn't seem to do anything (Should I assume the lack of any error messages means that it worked)? However, I will try again to see if anything changed. I am also using a W95 Boot Floppy. Edit: I tried it again, this time …

Hi all, I have recently put together a high-end 486 pc build that uses this motherboard: http://www.elhvb.com/webhq/models/486pci/mp032.txt.html (PhoenixBios 4.03/V.I.P. MOBO) with an am5x86-ADW and 32mb of ram. Currently, there are two cards in the system (Both VLB), one being a generic IDE/Floppy/ …

A few months back, I bought one of these cards to be a replacement for my Sound Blaster 16 (due to the midi bugs it has) at a cheap price.

Ok, so I just Installed a different driver set, BUT the CD AUDIO is NOT working. I was able to fix the IRQ issue though. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this? (I did connect the CD Audio cable to the sound card).

SUCCESS!!! By using these settings mentioned by @dionb, I was able to not only get DOS audio working, but also for Windows 3.11. I reinstalled the CD-ROM driver and it seems to work great. Only issue I am having though, is that the software for windows keeps auto-detecting the wrong IRQ (chooses 2 …

Thanks for all the replies, I will likely need to check the other non-sound cards in the system to make sure they each have their own port addresses and IRQs. I will try to do this later today. Also, does the SC-55mk2 need to be plugged in for the TSR to actually run (I am currently getting one …

Hello All, I have recently purchased an ESS Audiodrive 668F from eBay under the impression it was a 1688F (as advertised) to replace my Sound Blaster 16 Value, which suffers from bugs. It does come with free returns within 30 days, but I am curious as to whether I can get it to work or not. My plan …
