Re: SIS735, use in DOS

So, i see it very complicated and need a discrete amount of time (that i not have now), i’m store this for fiture use, or if anyone want this board for test (considering his rarity)… Is it the K7S5A? If so it's anything but rare, it was for over a year the cheapest Socket A motherboard you could …

Re: SIS735, use in DOS

SiS 735 supports DDMA, so shouldn't that work with the Solo too? 1GHz Duron is pretty fast so you might need to employ some slowdown methods for many older games.

I did try the CT3670 for a bit but for some reason I was not getting midi or AWE32 to work in Dos games like I was with the AWE64. The jumper is on the midi switch so I don't know what is happening.

Re: MediaForte SP256-PCS-02

Your first pic clearly shows "audio out" as well as "SPDIF" on the mini-DIN port. Apparently the relevant lines go there and would normally have some kind of breakout cable/box attached. Technically simplest solution would be to find that cable/box. Failing that, you need a matching mini-DIN-9 …

Re: Sound Galaxy NX on a Commodore PC20-III

Resources on an XT are always fun. You only have a few IRQs and DMAs to play with. You can choose between IRQ 2, 3 5 or 7. Their normal allocation: 2: EGA/VGA (not always used) 3: COM2 5: HDD controller 7: Parallel port Depending on what you use, I'd suggest using IRQ 3 or 7. IRQ2 might work, …
