My two cents for others looking for a dedicated sound mixing solution: get a Behringer RX1602 rack mixer. Quite cheap, sounds great, all the functionality you need. I've been using it for about two years now with my AWE32, MT-32, SC-55 and a couple other devices. Works like a charm and no noticeable …

FormGen's retail release of Monster Bash (v2.1). Seems to be hard to find. The only other copies I've seen listed for sale are in the $150 range (on Amazon. I got it for much less than that.) The FormGen Monster Bash installer is awful. I could not get it to work in DOSBox no matter what -freesize …

This box of goodies... I was the only bidder. I really wish people would leave the brackets on cards though. Sent a message to the seller asking if they still have the brackets. MOAR-cards.jpg Nice catch! :) Why would someone remove the brackets? Some imaginary heat dissipation? Because that's just …

Question out of interest / wanting to learn: what would be the maximum recommended clockspeed of a pure DOS 6.22 machine using a MT-32 and SC-55 together with SoftMPU? I've got a AMD K6-2 400MHz running at stock speed, is 400MHz okay for DOS games and the MT-32, SC-55 and SoftMPU? Or is …

Two Roland SC-55 units, one Roland SB-55 unit. :) Also picked up a TEAC 15532119-00 adapter card from 1988, for installing a 3,5" drive on a 5,25" connector. May be interesting to sell as it is quite rare these days. :) I'm pretty sure I have at least one of those 3.5 to 5.25 floppy adapters laying …

Re: Do or don't: PCI SB Live as dedicated MPU-401 interface next to ISA AWE32 in MS-DOS 6.22?

Got the Vortex 2 working perfectly next to the AWE32. Changed the base address to 240, DMA is 3 and IRQ is 3, so no conflicts with the AWE32. :) Only use the UART (MPU-401) port of it, maybe someday I'll try the other functions as well. Just one weird thing about it: manually setting the IRQ of its …
