Sounds like the disk change detection isn't actually kicking in and what is happening is that the DIR is showing the directory read that is in the cache. What happens if you try and copy a file to the new parition? If that works, what does the DIR show after that I wonder? BTW I've seen the exact …

you are seeing wavetable snyth because that is the default that Windows loads up and that is the only one that is appearing for DosBox to be able to use and access. You will likely need to find some additional software that will allow you to remap the midi device in windows to the MUNT emulator. On …

Found an interesting...quirk with ECE this past weekend.

Sure enough when I checked the Mixer …

It really does surprise me that a modern OLED screen isn't already available for the MT-32. They appear to have OLED replacements for nearly every other major Roland synth that was in use in the 80s - 90s and I would think that the modules were popular enough that there would be a demand for …

Yeah...I started originally back in the early 90s when I bought a Maui for my PC and then quickly upgraded that to my SCB -55 that I stuck onto my SB-16's wavetable header. Then about a decade later, I found an LAPC-I in the local thrift store for $10 bucks. So that replaced out the SC-55 in my old …

I'm not familiar with Macs but doesn't yours have a Mic input on it at least? If not, you could see about getting some sort of USB sound Line-in/Mic in device? That would allow you to plug the SC-55 into the Line-in/Mic input and also use the internal sound from the iMac? That is basically how I …
