Hello,
If anyone was wondering my previous account was unrecoverable so I had to create another one (the email address it was registered to was no longer valid so I couldn't do the mandatory password reset).
I have one problem with the MPU-IMC (microchannel MPU-401). On certain games, it seems like the interface simply does not work. Two in particular are Bitmap bros. 'Gods', and Westwood's 'Legend of Kyrandia'. I recently just saw this other MPU-IMC that went up on ebay... now the curious thing is that it has an extra PCB with an IC soldered to a few pins, photo here: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzcxWDE2MDA=/z/OnYA … 5Ttnw5/$_57.JPG
I'm wondering if this extra IC provides some additional logic required for the games that are having issues. Unfortunately due to the obscurity of this particular interface I simply can't find any extensive details about it and the game compatibility problem... or any mentioning on that strange PCB that's been tacked on to the one on ebay.
Thoughts, anyone? Games like Dune 2 and Police Quest 3 work fine.
