This is a quiet good week for me... after some new RAM for my AWE32 and the Terratec TT1816S, I found a cheap Matrox Millenium 2 (AGP) on ebay... 8€ incl. shipping. And I hope that I'll get 5 brand new NE2000 network cards with manual and original driverdisk tomorrow. :) photo_2018-11-23_21-08-40. …

First thing is ready and build in. There might be some problems in very small computer cases. For those cases I might add another version where the pcb is mounted a few millimeters lower to provide more space for cables. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3232293 Try to print it, I would appreciate …

One of my rigs had an CT1600 for some time now (instead of EWS64 before). But the soundquality wasn't that great and in addition I wanted a card with wavetable-header. So I bought an Terratec-made OEM Card: TT1816. Soundquality is way better than the sb pro 2, but of course there is a big downside …

You. Sir. Might be the savior we need. I have been looking for a solution like this for so long, but I do not have the modelling experience. I will gladly tip you on Thingiverse for this. Young Skywalker, we will watch your career with great interest. I'm honored, but my designing skills are only …

I'm using both kind of Adapters, IDE->CF with a braket and IDE->SD like it is linked on the first page of this thread (or as you can see on my picture below). But as you already stated, the prices for CF cards are rising, while the prices for SD cards are quiet low these days. So I bought more of …

Finally got my hands on an affordable Monster 3D 2 with loopback cable and original Need for Speed 2 SE CD, which was bundled with the card! I just can't wait for the real experience. I'll try it this evening.

I got myself a 3dfx Banshee for my machine.

Thanks @elianda, had not seen the wiki entry, but I'd read the thread you mentioned. Like I said: it's good now. 😀 Next thing in mind is to get my hands on an Roland SC 55.

Alright, thank you for your comments on this topic. I think I've sorted it out now. There were quiet a few problems adding up. At first, the RAM module the buyer sent me was broken, that was the reason I had problems using ewsinit in the first place. When I had this running I could load soundsets …

I'm wondering why the terratec cards have so much trouble with the capacitors, while all of my creative cards seem okay - even an much older SB Pro 2. Have you soldered new ones in, and where did you buy new ones in germany, at Reichelt?

I've tried a little bit longer, first in windows and found out that the card obviously had problems with the ram (which I bought with the card!). It could not recognize the ram chips, so I changed the bar. This helped in Win98 environment, so I tried it again in plain DOS 6.22. And I got it working …

Thanks for your suggestions, I'll try in the next days. Hopefully I'll get it to work.

Last week I got myself a not-functioning Maestro 32/96, luckily I could send it back to the dealer. I bought an EWS64XL on ebay instead, which I got yesterday. At first it semmed alright, at least it installed in win98se. But I could'n get the applications to work. So I tried it in DOS 6.22 and …

Thanks for you replay. I saw that topic yesterday and looked at my capacitors but - at least at first sight - they look decent. Because I bought the card at a shop I'll send it back and ask for cash-return or another card instead of soldering it by myself. Hopefully I can get my hands on an already …

Hi guys, I've bought me a new Maestro 32/96 for my retro-rig and ran into some trouble. My machine shows the card as an PnP Device on startup but when the driver is loaded during dos-startup the card gives me a terrible (and VERY load) distorsion noise. If I mute the GS-Synth the noise goes away, …
