Thanks! Seems like these are only specialized banks for musicians, not complete GM patchsets, right? I don't know or remember much about what is inside these archives. They were shared after I was done tinkering with my RIO daughterboard. Besides, with the RIO uploading samples is quite slow, so …

These Links are dead. Anyone has the MX300forxp.rar file? Seems I don't have it... My archived stuff mentions that for windows XP it is best to use the v5.12.2568.0 drivers. you can find that on the net with search string "Aureal_AU8830_2568" Also there is this: Quantex Zone Aureal downloads …

Nice progress today in the commit log for the development version, concerning the previously crappy audio under Virtualbox. At least I hope I can use the word 'previously' there. Nope. it did not work out. The commit was reverted. Good as well, since it broke the Timidity driver for one. Better …

Hello... does this board have setting FSB through jumpers or in BIOS? Are all option available (so for 66 mhz processor full range 66-133) or only higher ones (75,83). Can you downclock 100 mhz FSB processor to 66 mhz in BIOS? I think that most of your questions are answered in the topmost posting …

By now both version of bios can be free up IRQ 9. Thanks stingray! I will surely use those modded BIOS files you provided. I updated the VogonsDrivers entry for the BIOS collection, to link to your post here. (Unfortunately I don't know how to update the zip file there, without a whole lot of …

I am running a K6-2+. Do I understand correctly that this CPU has an L1 and an L2 cache on-die, meaning that the motherboard cache functions as an L3? Yes. L2 cache is on the K6-III / K6-III-P / K6-2+ / K6-III+. Next in line is the motherboard cache. If so, what does this mean for enabling or …

I wanted to know where to get the drivers for the AMD A10-7800 processor for Windows XP because, I cannot find them anywhere. If you or someone else knows, please tell me.

The Socket-P P9600 mini-system is finished now. OS is still Windows XP x86. The passively cooled HD 6450 video card was getting a bit too warm. It was suggested the later Geforce GT 710 may work under Windows XP. It turns out it works reasonably well. My findings and benchmarks are here. https:// …

My pleasure, The pictures on the internet show that although this HP T5710 has a PCI slot, the case has no room for any normal PCI card. Basically the compactness of your system has its advantages, but of course the downside is that you can not add a true DOS-Friendly sound card, and have to mess …

Scandy, Grunt made a fair point that there is AFAIK no reason to use SoftMPU with Doom MBF. But now i understand you are using softMPU to use its "additional functionality" to route music to you COM1 serial-port sound device. A modern and exotic work-around. Your system "HP T5710 with MS-DOS 7" …

may I ask if MBF could work with SOFTMPU? Sure. But I don't use SoftMPU myself. I tried to look up the situation regarding SoftMPU and the DOS Extenders / Protected mode games. Indeed most say it should not work. But I also read about such a game (Warcraft 2) actually working. I suppose you could …

RM, after their early years making their own systems didn't often produce their own equipment. Certainly by the time we were in the P2/P3/P4/Core generation they were rebranding mostly OEM boards from (usually) Intel and Asus. The university I work at used to buy thousands of these things in the …

The motherboard arrived today. It doesn't let you overclock, or change anything really. It is from RM, who make PCs for schools. It's so locked down It's begging to ask me for an administrator password even when I just look at it. It'll make a slightly usual XP PC though as it has a standard PCI-E, …

Wasn't there only one revision of the LuckyStar LS-486e which supported EDO? I forget which one it was now. SIS 496 'PR' Revision Northbridge supports EDO-RAM. Is SiS85C496 'NV' produced in 1997 capable of EDO? AFAIK 'NV' is not EDO compatible, only 'PR' is. The LS-486E that I have is also an 'NV'. …

That's interesting to know, I never perceived these different "attack modes" neither back in the days nor today ;-) IMHO, consistent attack damage would be useful. Neither did I... But since I heard of it, it is hard to forget about it and pretend the direction does not matter. So it really needed …
