If they haven't done it by now, they aren't going to. They enjoy being obstinate.

Necro bump. Just built one of these in a 50cal ammo can.. 25 watts of erasing power. Clears a 27c256 in about a minute lol. I can do maybe 30 chips at a time. The sticker is great. I wish more people did this. You never know when someone curious/stupid will flip the switch on something to see what …

DSP Solutions offered quite a few interesting downloads for the various Digispeech devices, both the DS201A and the later Plus devices. Here is an Internet Archive snapshot of that downloads page: https://web.archive.org/web/19980626124640/http://www.dsps.com:80/htmldocs/filelib.html One of the …

The company died not too long after the Digispeech Plus came out, so it's been ~22 years since they were in business. So, unfortunately, any source for the ASIC is probably long gone, and likely any information on the customizations to the TI. I do know who inside Digispeech wrote the documentation …

If I had time, I would be working on it. Before that happens, one of my other projects will be getting sounds cards working through DOSBox using a usb to isa adapter. Some of the code is already there and the company provides a custom DOSBox version as well as the source code but it won't work as- …

You can usually just upload the files to a file sharing site, mega.nz, google drive, archive,org right off the top of my head, and the file will be grabbed before they expire and added to the database by someone if they are worthwhile. I usually use my Google Drive, it's easiest.

Well, there isn't in Linux with KDE. Also, if you don't have a font that supports the emojis, all you see is boxes. Forums usually have a fixed set of common emoticons (not emojis, just emoticon images that work everywhere) that people can add easily. Then if people want more than that, they can …

Thank you for doing this, SS. It helps to ensure that in the event of some horrifying catastrophe, all the effort you and the contributors have put into the archive will likely survive (except in maybe an end-of-the-world scenario, but, if that happened, the loss of vintage drivers will likely be …

I'm "Meh" about considering anything regarding archive.org given their current legal issues. They may not be around too much longer. Which would be the greatest tragedy the Internet has suffered to date, but by their own hand (which honestly really pisses me off)

Even Google "I eat memory for every meal" Chrome and FireFox do the same thing. Yes, unfortunately, they all respect the cursor hijacking. The only workaround is to use a client-side script mentioned here: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=847230#p847230 Except for that, our only hope is that …

I think that's an interesting way to deal with it. Can that be done? Make signatures past a certain size optionally expandable?

I think Appiah4 makes a strong point. Every forum I have been a member of has had explicit signature image number, height, and size.

I'm amazed that someone thought that SS himself was offering to troubleshoot issues with the drivers themselves, and not the site. No one person has that kind of time on their hands given how many drivers are on that site and how many downloads occur.

It's because it doesn't have support for Cyrix/TI's implementation of A20M#, Address Bit 20 Mask. It's not part of the typical pin out of a 386SX, as such, the pin on the SXLC-40 that would assert A20M# is likely not connected (N/C). If you have a scope, you can easily check it, but even a simple …
