I recently picked up an old VLB card at a local used electronics store. I want to upgrade the RAM from 1MB to 2MB with the two DRAM slots. I tried installing one 512K DRAM module from the integrated CL chip into the VLB card but it doesn't show up in the BIOS or speedsys. Is this the wrong type of …

Nice! I see you have a Roland SC-55 mkII and SC-88 Pro. Is there something the SC-88 cant do that the SC-55 can? I ordered a SC-88VL today and thought it was backwards compatible with the SC-55. The only thing the SC-88 can't do that the SC-55 can is play SC-55 music right. The SC-88 has a SC-55 …

I'm having a problem with Wolfenstein 3D since I've upgraded to an AWE64 in my MMX rig. Sometimes when I launch the game everything works fine, other times digital sound is completely greyed out and I can't select anything. This greatly degrades the gun, door, and voice sound effects. Music always …

I have a similar problem with my sc-88. I'm gonna give this a try tomorrow. RFR and anyone else interested, I finally figured out how to configure the AWE64 for external MIDI without disabling anything. My specific card is the CT4380. Here are the steps: 1: If you haven't already install the AWE64 …

New problem, when you disable Wavetable MIDI in the device manager, external MIDI devices work, but SB music stops working so games like Wolfenstein 3D that don't use MIDI have no sound. The AWE64 is really starting to stress me out. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Biggie Z I just bought a AWE64 and im waiting for it in the post can you tell me what driver you used for Win98se and dos, and where did you find the setting in device manager? Hi, Windows 98 will install the drivers automatically, if you're not doing a clean install, you'll need the Windows 98 …

I figured it out for anyone else who wants to know, I had to disable AWE64 Wavetable MIDI in the device manager.

I recently swapped out my SB16 to a AWE64 to get rid of the hanging note bug with my SC-55. I reinstalled W98 and now DOS games refuse to play music out of the SC-55. I have the games all set to Sound Canvas/330 but the games all play music out of the AWE64's MIDI synth instead. I did not have this …

Is your SC-55 connected to the MIDI out port of your Sound Blaster 16 or AWE32? If so, it's a well known problem with these range of sound cards - refer http://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/Hanging_note_bug Verify this with the particular model sound card that you have (the CT number). The SC-55 is …

I have a Roland SC-55 that's having a weird problem. When playing games, there are random high pitch ding sounds kind of like a triangle. I know it's not part of the song because they show up at different times every time I play the game. I hear it a lot when playing Doom and Doom II. Is this a …

I recently picked up a IBM PC 350-466DX. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about these. It has a 66MHz 486 and I'd like to know what my upgrade options are if any. The jumpers say it'll support a DX4, but I want to know if it'll support a faster AMD chip, an AMD 133MHz would be great. If …

I'm unsure what support the motherboard has (if any) for K6 processors unfortunately. For transferring files, I actually use the network which is super convenient. My HTPC / file-server PC is running Linux with a Samba server running and this Dell PC was able to connect to it out of the box due to …

Thanks for the info, I'm definitely gonna be upgrading the CPU now. You don't by chance know if any of the faster AMD K6 CPUs will work? Mine has the original 4MB Matrix Millennium II GPU which seems to work fine for all the games I play on this PC. I find the Zip drive to be invaluable on this PC, …

I've been sandbagging off this website for a while now and finally decided to join. Here's my W98/DOS rig: Pentium MMX 200MHz, 128MB PC66, Matrox Millennium II, SB VIBRA 16 and Roland SC-55. Welcome aboard! :D Is that a good place to store floppies? I try to always store them on places where there …

My communications center:

I've got a similar setup, except mine has a 200MHx MMX CPU. I also have the original Dell monitor, mechanical keyboard, and ball mouse that was bundled with the PC when purchased by my dad for work in 1997. I noticed that model # is M200a which would imply it came with a 200MHz CPU, was the CPU …
