How do I get one?

Will the 486 SXL2 outperform a Cyrix 25/50? Does it have a lot more cache?

Hi All. When this is done, it will allow which types of 486 chips to be used in a 386? Like, will you be able to use a 5x86 or a DX/4 in it? What clock frequency does it expect from the motherboard? I also have an Inboard/386 and have an interest because Transcomputer modules are impossible to find. …

Does HardMPU still require EMM386 and a 386 processor?

Hi, Has anybody tested this interposer on an Inboard/386? If I read correctly this allows a 486 sxl2 to be used in a regular 386DX socket - is that correct? Is so, how does one get their hands on one? Thanks, Chris

Interesting question... I guess I'd start with Princed Graphics Extractor which includes C sources. Looks like it can extract all the graphical .DATs, CGA/EGA included. I didn't look too closely, but at least the created .raw chunks appear to be correct. The CGA .bmp results have the wrong palette …

Hi, Does anybody know of a tool that would extract CGA/EGA graphics data from Prince of Persia and a way to send them back? For some reason that I am not sure I understand I would like to see how involved it would be to edit the graphics and enabled a Composite CGA mode Prince of Persia. The only …

Hi, All I could find for an application that supports the 4 color 640x200 Plantronics mode was GEM. I wanted to see what the mode looked like displaying graphics, so I wrote my own converter and display routine. Anyway, people over at Vintage Computer forum helped me with some of the code as I am …

Hi, In my youth there was an Adlib ROL file player that was my go to and sadly I cannot remember the name of it, nor can I find it. It is getting harder and harder just to head to Google and search for DOS based insight and finding anything, sign of the times. Anyway, this player had a graphical …

Hi FreddyV - really love Mod-Master. I can get Stereo sound on my XT (with a Breakthrough 286 installed) using 22050 on an ESS Audio Drive 1868 16 bit running in the 8 bit slot. This is the reason for my question. Does the player support 16 bit playback via the SB16 and if so, could we have 16 bit …

Will the Orpheus work in an 8 bit slot? I haven't personally tested it, but this should work fine. The reality is that there is no part of the card that uses 16-bit transfers; the extra "connector" (16-bit ISA) is there only to provide access to DMA 0 and additional IRQ lines (above 7). Using the …

Here is an application that I put together that really doesn't do anything useful. I wanted to see what some VGA games would look like if they had supported CGA and I wanted to be able to play some games in alternative CGA fonts. It isn't sophisticated, it captures a windowed DOSBOX output and …

Hi, So how come we can't get a utility that would enable the colorburst bit for CGA 640x200 mode and then remap the colors to Old/New/PCJR/Tandy color maps? I tried all of the utilities but none of them enabled the colorburst bit with a Sierra game running. 🙁 Chris

There may be other tricks to get more than 16 colours on CGA. Check this out: http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/showthread.php?36700-CGA-80x50x64k-Mode-Preview I am pretty sure he is using a TTL display and not composite mode. So I was minding my own business, looking up some info on CGA and …
