In addition to the TBPlus package or anything similar in function (such as BHDD31.ZIP), you must have an LBA48 (48-bit LBA) capable disk controller BIOS, either integrated on the motherboard (if using the onboard IDE controller) or on an add-in IDE or SATA PCI controller (if using one of those). As …

Greetings, I am looking for information on using 1 terabyte hard drives with Windows 98SE/DOS 7.1 with a Pentium III on an Asus P2B board, using the Terabyte Plus package. I am reading the readme files, though I just want to make sure I do things right. I read elsewhere that there could be issues, …

Are you referring to rloew's patch? (For a second I thought you might be referring to some new "abandonware" package circulating about.) https://archive.org/details/patch1tb I think realistically you are probably never going to get around to looking at more than a tiny fraction of a 1 TB drive …

How many will be available, and what would be needed to make another batch in the future? I am just feeling paranoid, because I desperately need one of these cards! I check my email every day for updates, and put my retrobox on hold until I know if I can get one (I do have the cash.) Hello guys! And …

I CANNOT wait! My Ultimate 486 needs this! My 486 and original AWE32 died, so I am waiting for this to put in my Pentium III system which will use Mo'Slo Deluxe to emulate 486 speeds. I haven't done any retro gaming at all since finding out about this project; waiting in anticipation! I also hope …

Also, with things in the world as they are right now, I also want to put a modem in my retro PC and build a BBS. I think we need to bring back bulletin board services. There are several BBS servers that are accessible over the Internet. You could use a WiModem232 or PiModem to connect a serial port …

I keep watching for this! I put my entire retro-PC project on hold, waiting for this card. I'll add a dream blaster to it, and run it in Tandem with a Sound Blaster Live! and a Roland MT-32in order to cover everything from 1988 to 2000. This card is like a dream come true. I hope that this project …

Just a bit of patience, guys :) Right after we crossed our fingers for the pirates, they've released the card and it tracked as shipped on June 11. Once it arrives and we finish the tests, we'll order the production boards. Sounds great! I am just worried that the will be bought up before I can get …

I just wanted to drop back in and say that I want one, regardless of cost. I need it for my situation, in order to have a card that simply works with everything. My AWE32 dying and needing replaced with an inferior one has been terrible.

I had been using the same revision P2B with the latest beta BIOS for some months with a 120GB SSD on a IDE-SATA converter and never had a problem with it. I moved the SSD+converter to an AOpen AX6BC and never had a problem either. Based on that experience I would guess your problem has to do with …

well maybe you have a bad cable, only a multimeter will tell for sure In each SCC-1 there were 2x cables so it was no issue if their pinout was custom When I figure out what is wrong with/replace mu multimeter, I'll test things out. completely forgot about my multimeter and using one to test these …

are you using the the original SCC-1 cable for the midi port? When I b ought the SCC-1 from ebay, it came with a midi cable, maybe it was 8 inches or so. I tried that one and I tried two cables that came with a Sound Blaster Platinum I/O drive. Is the wiring for the SCC-1 midi cable different from …
