I also need help running picoGUS (v2 from Serda) on XT system, Olivetti M19. When running pgusinit I get both no picogus detected error and picogus card using protocol 255, needs 3. The card works on a 16-bit machine. I've seen this error on 8-bit systems before as well. I'm curious what would be …

yeah i gave up on the turbo button and accepted it just halts amd chips. I did switch the same mb (it was cheap) and i have 1 mb of cache running. Probably pointless with only 32 mb of ram. is the cpu voltage correct? have you tried it without external cache disabled? lower fsb? just some ideas that …

I can’t get any of my pico 1’s to be detected on the micro 8088 I built. It does detect a pico 2. I did see something similar reported as a bug on the GitHub page. Is anyone had success on 8088/86? I took the same card and made sure it was working and it was ok on a socket 5 board with the latest fw …

in that case on the other end for midi modules a mt32-pi might be the cheapest midi module using midi inputs. (cheaper if you build it yourself) Serdashop options: mt32 pi: https://www.serdashop.com/MP32L chill (needs wavetable boards): https://www.serdashop.com/CHiLL a cheaper option but limits you …

The Roland um one can let you connect a pc with usb to your midi device. It should be around $50 usd.

did the mcake survive?, seems the logical thing is that is arced from it to the picogus. maybe its too much for the pico to power a rpi compute module? I run a rpi zero 2 off the waveblaster and had no issues.

Did it come with a driver disk? Maybe try getting it play midi without the sb16 in the system. What sb16 model? Makes a difference if it’s pnp or not. But key is like mentioned above is to make sure none of resources conflict.

Mt32 mostly only makes sense if you have a game that directly supports it. I think most prefer the sc-55 as it was the musician was using and it covers many games using general midi. If you’re not opposed to new solutions take a look into the mt32-pi/fluildsynth. Serdashop also many options for …

I bought a gf3 ti 200 around this time upgrading from a voodoo 3 pci. I think it was about $200. This was to pair with my athlon tb 1.2 / asus mb. The next card after that was the ati 9600 with half-life 2.

I do know that most tandy devices already use IRQ5, it's either the video card retrace or xt ide controller. I'm not sure if an irq conflict will interfere with it, but an intermittent issue like that sounds like it could be the issue... My gut tells me it’s a defective card… I should be seeing the …

Its manual says that we need to install driver prior to plugging the card to PCI! Curious if this is the way for Win 98? i think this is mainly to get the driver to install from the first windows detection, its not going to hurt to do it that way, but i think the driver update path would work too …
