Did you try FDISK /MBR? The implementation of the adapter can cause some issues, but AFAIK even Windows XP boots from a CF with a "Removable" flag as long it's not through USB.

A friend of mine ever brought in a Celeron 300Mhz and the mainboard was riddled with bulging caps. It would rarely make it to Windows, sometimes it would just display a black screen of give fault codes. Does your system give any beeps/fault codes? Can you turn off the BIOS splash screen? Might hide …

Why ? Good point, the main idea would be to be able to play/compose existing SPC music on a PC (-> think of Adlib Tracker, ImpulseTracker) or to create new homebrew games that could utilize that sound board. Or something completely else. :sweatdrop: I just came up with the idea when I thought about …

I've looked into these cards and they are interesting for DOS AFAIK. VGA Museum has some Quake benchmarks, it does pretty well if I recall. Separte cards for the consumer market are rare, you do see them offered as pulls from Siemens / NCR / medical machines, hence there is little info concerning …

BTW why some Maui 1.0 cards have and some don't have WaveBlaster connector? Only time I saw a picture of a Maui with the header was when somebody soldered one to try out what it does. I thought it was an abandoned idea and that there was only one revision. Do you have any docs/info on this? AFAIK …
Re: Resetting BIOS password on Toshiba Satellite 4010 CDS
Posted on 2019-05-02, 08:36
You need to connect some pins on the parallel port for a reset. Quick Google: "Connect these pins: 1-5-10, 2-11, 3-17, 4-12, 6-16, 7-13, 8-14, 9-15, 18-25" I know that there are complete guides out there, maybe this can get you started.
Re: 60hz boot is possible?
Posted on 2019-05-01, 18:31
You can use VGA240 to switch to 60Hz, some info here: http://nerdlypleasures.blogspot.com/2018/02/startech-usb3hdcap-review.html It does add borders, perhaps this can be solved with the OSSC. This of course doesn't work directly on boot (accessing BIOS etc), but like bakemono said, add it to …

Thanks for the info guys. I asked here because this one of the more recent mentions of Interwave / GF1 compatibility and ISA speeds. Won't OT the thread any further.

I recommend to you, run on a period correct pc first (mostly they are slow - 10-20fps was normal). The normal gus classic also important, the guspnp plays sometimes differently, with different speed, and the demo is timed to the music. The late demos support directly the interwave. Another issue …
