Hi,
I upgraded my 486 PC (Informtech IT486SR board with i486DX@33MHz) with an i486DX2@66MHz actually some time ago. All has been well but I have been unable to calibrate/use the joystick, have tried a dedicated Gravis gameport card and different sound cards/joysticks. GRAVUTIL works OK but games don't.
Now just recently tried Doom and Duke Nukem 3D and noticed hanging MIDI notes with the music when General MIDI or Sound Canvas selected. I have the usual SC-55+MT-32 combo hooked up via an SCC-1 MIDI out. Both SCC-1 and SC-55 hang the notes. MIDI music in other GM titles (Colonization, Transport Tycoon, etc.) work OK.
I have tried disabling internal cache and disengaging the turbo button. No help (and no playable Doom/Duke3D).
Am I back to the i486DX@33MHz or what could be the cause?
Thanks!
