Note that this information isn't exactly new, but I can't find it compiled for anyone looking for a quick answer anywhere. I am writing this in hopes that it would help someone else configure their ESS Solo-1 card in pure DOS. So a lot of people, including myself, has seen Phil's Computer Lab video …

Epson seems to be the go-to, though people really like the Tandy/Citizen ones too. I recently picked up a Star NX-2450 Rainbow. As a new dot matrix user, I do have some pitfalls to share with you: 1) If it's a later dot matrix printer, be sure it has the tractor feed. They started to omit these from …

Yours is the Maestro-2M ESS Maestro-2M.pdf Thank you so much for that!! It seems like some of the pins are GPIO pins which are also for the ES2820, which seems to be for a 56k modem. The pins seem to be dual purpose though! This looks like a proprietary implementation of what later became …

Is that an Intel 440ZX chipset ? Intel made many of the Micron boards and the DR737 was the IN440ZX OEM board, used in AST and some other computers AFAIK. BCM has the manual but does not mention that header but judging from the traces it goes to the ESS sound chip so is most likely a OEM specific …

Hello! I have this lovely Microns BCM DR737 Slot-1 motherboard, and I was wondering if anyone else had encountered a proprietary 44 pin modem port like the one I have where an expansion card would normally go. Does anyone have any information about it? Or does anyone have a pinout? Whether or not …

Hello! Does anyone know where I can find the Windows 98 drivers for the ESS Maestro-2? Specifically the Maestro-2M. According to this old archived page I need drivers for the ES1968. https://web.archive.org/web/20050712080443/http://www.esstech.com/techsupp/drivers.shtm I can't seem to find them …

Sadly such a feature with that name does not exist. :( It's a straight up IBM system with its own unique BIOS that is neither Award or AMI. https://i.imgur.com/QrpDmBy.jpg https://i.imgur.com/yW0s5Jl.jpg The biggest lie I've ever known. https://i.imgur.com/sO6tT0s.jpg https://i.imgur.com/n1I7rwG.jpg …

EDIT: This thread is pointless as I've found out. The moral of the story is to make sure you're actually installing the correct drivers for your device. lol. Thanks Tiido! You know what I love? When you set which IRQs and addresses are available in the BIOS of an IBM PC350 and then good ol' Windows …

Those JP2 jumpers aren't on my card. I found that document once but it didn't match up with the one I have. JP2 is part of the expansion card's header. These are the extra jumpers I was talking about: https://i.imgur.com/DxQOWK7.jpg The manual says nothing. :S The address jumper is down below. It's …

Hello! I recently acquired a Gravis Ultrasound revision 3.73. It's a pretty cool card! It makes the sound! I like the sound! Sound is my friend. But the kind of sound that is not my friend, is the sound that doesn't sound like a friendly sound. Poor Adlib emulation is pretty menacing to my ears. Not …

Sorry for the necro-post, but I'm getting the "dump/error !!!" error with my FB-01 in DOSBox 0.74 trying to run Silpheed using the fixed FB01.DRV. Has anyone else encountered this issue with DOSBox too? I can't seem to get it to work. I'm running the FB-01 through a Roland UM-3EX to my PC, a Midi to …

Hello! I got bored and decided to make a SysEx file that turns two MT-32s into a 16 Channel setup using the Unit Number and the THRU port of the systems. (Because who doesn't own two MT-32s?!) If you were ever bummed out that you couldn't listen to General MIDI files before with all 16 channels, …

Ah, no I'm not. That would most definitely be the reason then! I've acquired the Daum SVN build and it no longer gives me the buffer overflow error, but now I get a "Exc. Checksum Error!" All my instruments get changed to the base piano sound and no instrument names change. Though, I'm not sure if …

Hello, I'm trying to use Dr. T's MT-32 Editor in DOSBox with my MT-32 (Old) connected via my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 card. I tried adding "delaysysex" to my DOSBox config but I'm still getting a buffer overflow error on my MT-32 whenever I transmit any data to it. I'm not too sure where to put the …
