Re: Ivy Bridge XP system

My original plan was to use an ensoniq audiopci 1370, partition the drive and have a DOS 6.22 partition for DOS gaming. However Dos does not like to share a drive with with XP. It kept corrupting the XP boot sector. So I kept it as a pure XP system. Does your motherboard BIOS have a boot device …

Re: Midnight Commander

in DOS
I have this in stock, I don't have anything else, everything works for me Of course it can work, even Win32 version of DosBox can run under pure DOS with the help of HX DOS extender. But this does not mean that Midnight Commander (or DosBox) has a DOS version. ;) These are still Win32 PE …

Re: Midnight Commander

in DOS
Sorry, my NAS was unavailable. Hi, Both attached packages contain a Win32 PE executable version of mc.exe. None of them are valid DOS exe files. But the 1st package contains files form HX DOS extender (HDPMI32.EXE, DPMILD32.EXE) that enables simple 32-bit PE executable files to run under pure DOS.

Re: Strange MIDI synth behaviour

That is good to know. I have another file that does not play quite correctly but no loud instruments, it is ADVENT.MID. I have attached it and a recording of it to this post. I had to reduce the bit rate a bit on this one and make it variable as it was over the 5Mb limit. Some of the instruments …

Re: Strange MIDI synth behaviour

@Falcosoft I have done some more testing and have found that just removing the Sysex F0411042124024063066F7 from the deadend MIDI file also makes it play correctly with out the loud instruments. Not sure if that narrows down any issue or not. I also tried another non Sound Blaster 16 (CT1740) sound …
