yes it is a hard-wired choice but if you go the PCMIDI way there is no use for the CS4237 UART mpu since PCMIDI does both intelligent+uart modes

Thanks for testing, but it uses a mod file for music so Adlib is out of the question. Although it sounds like it. You can use: DIET.EXE -RA ALMOST.MOD to retrieve the original mod file and play it in MOD Master. What I can't figure out is why the SB is at 8khz as this game was released in 1993. …
Re: HardMPU, anyone?

^ since you have a PII and 99,9% the board uses ACPI for power management try to go in BIOS and see if you can disable ACPI or chose to use APM. ACPI is hard-wired to IRQ9 so it does stuff all the time and could mess with your MPU or any other card that wants to use IRQ9

I have no good solution slowing down p2+ systems, personally for pure dos my max setup is a 233mmx p1 which one easily slows down so all Roland stuff work

I'm afraid all those issues you are experiencing is because your system is too fast. Keep in mind all those MT-32 games are late 80s and early 90s ones - where a P2 is way overkill. It is not the hardware that fails but the game drivers crap out because of speed. One other thing to consider is if …

Yes they are for the scat 235 - the setup looks the same as your SETUP.COM program, just newer. Functionally it appears identical. Luckily PCEM emulator had them both in their v15 BIOS rom set. Apparently v16 adds another samsung machine BIOS, which I havent had time to explore yet. If you can find …

Hey great! I looked everywhere for that setup! I ended up flashing new EPROMs with some later Samsung 286 models that included a BIOS setup routine. The downside is that they dont include a VGA bios for the onboard display as it resides in the same EPROM as the system BIOS I ended up also using …

I think the system is too slow to enjoy WCII even with speech 🤣 I plan to stick an AdLib there or some ESS card - keep it basic

Hiya! I started messing with a Samsung Deskmaster 286/12 system, naturally the battery was dead so I was getting boot issues. Replaced the battery and spent quite some time trying key combos to enter the BIOS - unsuccessfully. Since it is a 1988 286 Phoenix BIOS my guess is that there is no rom- …

it's all about the height of the start menu, if it is too short the graphics don't render just add whatever item until the graphics appear again

try and clean the isa edge connectors of the card with some IPA or a soft pensil eraser - maybe it's just a connection issue
