Hi. I have a digital decstation 320 made by olivetti. The motherboard seams to be the same as the one used in m300-10. Does anyone have the setup disk for it? I tried the setup disk for m300-15 but it does not work.

But we did find the rgb output from the motherboard and got a signal when we measured with an oscilloscope. And there was continuity on …

Hi. In the gravis configuration I can set the number of active voices, and select 8bit instead of 16 bit. Would this have any effect on games? I tried doom but I could not hear any difference.
