I see your SCSI one has the square type pot. I was actually contemplating ordering some of those as they definitely look to be shorter as far as how far they stick up above the circuit board. Maybe I will have to do that as well... but I will see if the stock size will fit on one of my cases.
Re: How to get your copy of Half-Life 2 AND THE EPISODES working on XP!
Posted on Yesterday, 01:42
Sounds like either a corrupted copy or the game is using a steam emulator with no configuration file to specify the app id. You come in here posting a link to a website to download full versions of games with a bunch of BS in a post that no one can make sense of and I'm the one being rude? Value …

I've bought a few things form the same seller previously and never had a problem. The fix should be fairly simple as the pot used is a really common one and was easy to find. If TNC had actually installed the washer and nut for the pot on the card in the first place it would have been immensely …

@JidaiGeki Would it be possible for you to make high quality scans of all the documentation? It looks like the booklets are just using a couple staples for the binding so it would be super easy to unbend the staples and then feed them through a copier to scan them. 300dpi would be good if 600dpi …

Well... think I found the company that marketed these cards although the archived web pages don't go far back enough to have anything about them: Look at 79 years. The logo also matches the logo on the box. http://web.archive.org/web/20160926065253/http://www.tnc.com.tw:80/zh-tw/Html/CompanyHistory …

The circuit board material on the front potentiometer is broken in half. No way to fix it unless I drill the shaft to get it apart and even then I kind doubt it would work. Not sure about the back circuit board. I'll take a pic of the hilariously not original disks that came with it after I reboot …
Re: Dells crippled live or a pci 512
Posted on 2020-04-07, 02:47
If you want hardware acceleration, then the PCI 512. The fake live with the rectangular chip.. I don't even know what to say about that. I probably have one but would not use it.

Mine arrived today. Unfortunately the volume pot was either already damaged or was damaged in shipping. I already contacted the seller and I already order some new pots with volume knobs as well.

I doubt you would be able to achieve this level of performance (or lack thereof) with a Pentium-class CPU. But for all means try something that runs at 50 MHz FSB. You can actually jumper your Pentium 100 (66x1.5) to run at 75 MHz (50x1.5). My feeling is that it would run roughly as fast as 386 SX- …

Yay! At least you got it working. I wonder if the caps have dried out and need to be replaced. The other option is that the motherboard you are using doesn't have any real filtering on the ISA bus. The reason I say this is that the way people complain about Sound Blaster cards being "noise blasters" …

I went from a ISA+VLB AMD 5x86-133 (running at 160) to a SS7 board with a K6-233.. I think. Pretty sure that was the clock speed at least.

I bet those other games want the MIDI port to be at 330.
