I am rocking very similar spec with three sound cards ( link to specs ). In DOS I use AWE32 and GUS simultaneously on regular basis midi/opl music from AWE32 and sfx through GUS. In Windows Me I use third sound card: Aureal Vortex 2 for some 3d sound goodness. All of them are working well together, …

Try running doom2 with dos/32a extender instead of the supplied dos4gw.

Do you think these will work? Slightly faster ram chip: km41c464j-10 vs km41c464j-8 https://www.ebay.com/itm/264965097102?hash=it … kwAAOSw0Z1fy28X

Looks very much like a vram issue. It does indeed. However unexpanded Tandy 1000 RL uses the built-in 512KB RAM for video and when upgraded with additional 256KB it uses the first extra 128KB RAM to expand DOS RAM to 640KB and the other 128KB for video. Unfortunately in both cases the issue exists. …

ISA Riser/multiplicator solution for Tandy 1000RL?

Howdy, As we know Tandy 1000 RL sports only a single 8 bit ISA expansion slot. My question is about ISA raiser cards that can be found on ebay. Could they be used? Or even de-soldering the existing ISA edge connector and putting in a double or triple stacked one (if they exist). etc The real …

Have you replaced dos4gw with another extender? Most if not all dos4gw extender replacements wont work with external ovl libraries.

Glad I could help! btw: with 8bit i/o recovery set to a high number you should not need to slow down the cpu for audio to work correctly. Games running too fast is another story though.

Try this: Find in bios option for 8bit i/o recovery time and set it to high number, for my pentium III 500 8busclk did the trick.

Hi, I have somewhat similar audio setup more info see here: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=613918#p613918 First thing I would recommend doing is to swap the playback irq for GUS and SB, irq 7 for SB is the most compatible setting: SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6 SET ULTRASND=240 …

Does it initialize with ultrinit.exe at all under different irq and/or dma? Also there is a download for ultrinit 2.31 on vogons driver page which may help. Especially that newer gus' have hardware mixer onboard.

I also have GUS 3.74. What are the specs of your PC? Motherboard, cpu etc. Any other isa or pci cards installed in the system? What GUS software version are you trying to install? Look into bios and try to reserve the resources you intend to use with gus to legacy isa equipment, disable serial and …

"Day of Tentacle / Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis -> Garbage random noises, sometimes crash." Try the throttle tool to slow down the computer. Or disable cpu cache on bios. Some games wont work properly with sound when pc is too fast.
