I removed Trio64V+ and with the integrated Cirrus Logic everything works just fine, including SVGA. No freezing. With Trio I didn't have any refresh rate problems, everything looked really good and Windows 3.11 support was better but I guess I'll have to settle to the integrated one. I do wonder …

A while ago I was able to finally get my system work rather fine with all different sound cards -- Yamaha Audician, AWE64 Gold... However, I didn't like the integrated Cirrus Logic since for some reason it didn't work that well. So I went ahead and bought a PCI S3 Trio64V+. All nice and good except …

I replaced case fan in my Industrial PC Pentium MMX 233 with a bit more modern and quieter one. Also received today the extension cable for my midi daughterboard, so now I finally have a well working system with both MT-32 (connected to AWE64 Gold IRQ 9) and TopWave 32 (connected to Audician 32+, …

Update: I finally received the new case, backplane and AT power with it. And surprise surprise, it solved most of my issues :) Now aweutil runs, my Audician 32+ can be initialized (prior to this, it wouldn't work at all) and even USB on the SBC is working. Great success! However, one problem remains …

Today I built a Windows 98 SE retro rig. I received an old Compaq DeskPro Celeron 600 yesterday, and today I installed SB Audigy and ATI Radeon 9000 Pro in it. I have to say I was really surprised to see how easy it was to get everything running, Hopefully things will get as smooth on the DOS 6.22 …

My plan is to put both cards, AWE64 Gold and SB16 in this computer. SoftMPU will be run on the first card which is then also connected to MT-32. For SB16 I have a TopWave32 (Korg) daughterboard which will be used as well. That way I'll get OPL3, GM and MT32 and can just configure different games to …

Well, I bought this: http://www.ebay.de/itm/231434289114?_trksid=p … K%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Let's see how it'll work 😀 At least the chassis looks pleasingly 90s retro and is as compact as one with option for multiple full length expansion cards can get. 😀

Do you have a normal PC motherboard that you can test it on, just to be sure it is the card and not the Amiga 2000? The Amiga 2000 power supply isn't very powerful and the ISA bus on the A2000 is very noisy. If you've got an accelerator and SCSI etc controllers, it makes the situation worse. I've …

I have been now for a while having problems with my AWE64 Gold and today yet another problem emerged. However, before I go and toss this card and replace it with a SB16, I'd like to hear your comments and at least try to solve the problems I'm having. I'm running a Pentium 233 MMX, SBC with a …

Thanks carlostex, I think I'll buy an additional sound card. It seems I'm unable to get AWE64 FM synthesis enabled (=all Adlib games are silent, can't just get it enabled with aweutils). I wonder if the card is broken somehow.

I was finally able to get to hear Monkey Island theme music the way it was meant to be listened. However, on my way towards this goal I have faced a problem that has left me wondering what are my options. AWE64 Gold allows one to use IRQ 9, which is good for Softmpu compatibility with some games. …

Well, in the end Roland (or lack of it) made the decision for me. For some stupid reason I mistakenly thought my Roland bob was MPU-401 (just with some newer components that fit inside a smaller box, ha ha) and I bought one of those new dutch passive ISA cards to connect it to. "Surprisingly" I was …

Not to mention that somehow I never liked that DOS version -- it didn't feel as DOSy as standalone DOSes. It is a fine choice and you would probably be well-served by abandoning your strange idiosyncrasies. Sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone. As should have been evident from my first post my …

^ aha! A2000 user spotted! :D Yup. :wink: It's a major project as I have to first resolder joystick port, then replace the battery and finally "upgrade" the ISA buses. I have been collecting all necessary pieces for this project one by one. Funny though that I guess I wouldn't have started on this …

Thanks! I'll take the FreeDOS route then. ...now I only have to solder and convert some 8bit ISA slots to 16bit and then I can continue installing DOS to my Pentium/Amiga retromachine 😉

Hello everyone, I'm in the process of building a SBC based Pentium MMX 233 into an Amiga 2000 and I'm wondering which DOS to install. My intention is to use this computer to play large variety of DOS games, from the time before CD-ROM and after. However, I'm having problems deciding which DOS to …
