Yeah the problem with the USB/PS2 adapter is that it only works in Windows. The KVM supports 1600x1200 without issues and with 1920x1080 there was some random flickering which would come and go randomly.

Hi, I have a 4-port KVM with DVI/PS2 ports, and what I want to do is to use the same PC with two different KVM inputs. The reason behind this is, I have a Geforce4 with DVI output, but when I play 3Dfx games, the VGA signal of the Voodoo2 goes into a VGA-DVI converter. Is there a Y-cable so I can …

I couldn't add literally any resolution with the nVidia control panel, but it worked with your .reg file!! When I select 1400x1048 the monitor (Samsung Syncmaster 203B) apparently needs 75hz because when I try 60hz it automatically falls back to 640x480. Super weird, but thanks so much!!

Hi, in Windows 98 I can't use the 1400x1050 resolution (native for my 4:3 monitor) with my Geforce4 4600 (driver 77.42). It only allows me to select a maximum of 1360x760 resolution. Trying to add custom resolution, I get an error that it's not possible. If I disable DDC, I can selct resolutions …

Hi, now that I have a MU2000EX, can it replace my MU50 for DOS games or will it sound differently? Thank you €dit: System -> Map has two options, "MU basic" and "MU100 Native". If my ears are not mistaken, "MU basic sounds like my MU50"

MU2000 from Japan. I can't find a voltage transformer for the 100V so I'm just gonna buy another 12V 2A psu. Honestly a better bet anyway even if the OG PSU was universal. A brand new PSU will be smaller, lighter, quieter, more energy efficient and less likely to blow up on you. Same reason I …
