It might be worthwhile to upload that file to archive.org or here at the vogonsdrivers page so that it remains permanently available and easy to find without digging up this thread.

Re: The dark side of playing computer games?

It depends. Do you play enough that it becomes a vice for you? Remember, your vices owe you nothing, and you will never regain the time you spend on games. Occasional play is fine, but don't let it get in the way of school, work, love, and life.

Re: Newly made Gravis Ultrasound compatible cards ... what's the degree of interest?

It's funny, about 20 years ago it was rare to find a GUS on ebay. But when they did pop up every several months they were only $15-30. I bought quite a few of them back then. These days they are constantly listed on ebay but the prices are nuts. Yeah, there is that one seller in Hungary who seems …

I like the sound of GUSt as well, and I think the high prices an original GUS commands on eBay means interest will likely be strong for a project like this.

I hope the IRQ 2/9 option works for you. Otherwise, did you add the SBMIDI switch? From the Github page for SOFTMPU: https://bjt42.github.io/softmpu/ The optional /OUTPUT:SBMIDI switch forces Sound Blaster MIDI to be used. This mode is intended for use with the Sound Blaster Pro 2 and other sound …

Great discussion! This might be a good time to reference the excellent Late PCI, early and middle AGP video chips DOS game compatibility test results link: https://gona.mactar.hu/DOS_TESTS/ But yeah, if I could only have one card, it would be a Voodoo3 PCI for the reasons listed in the posts above.

My Sapphire ATI Radeon 9250 worked on my M919 VIP board last fall. It had more graphics memory than system RAM 😂 I'd only add that though my 9250 worked on this M919 rev 3 board last year, a Voodoo 3 3000 PCI did not. UMC chipset, as has already been brought up. Do OpenGL and Direct3D games work on …

A shame. They weren’t always perfectly accurate, but they were a standard resource that was easy to read quickly.
What is up with CNET?

Lots of old hardware spec pages from CNET now are showing “404 not found” errors when I search for old hardware on Bing or Google. Anyone else noticing this?
Re: I want to drill holes into my PowerVR PCX2 to mount a heatsink. Does anyone have access to an x-ray machine?

I'm not familiar with fishing line. Isn't it usually made out of a kind of plastic that would be at risk of melting? It's usually a single nylon thread so it should survive higher temps than the chip.😉 I agree. Monofilament fishing line, which is readily available and inexpensive, has a crystalline …

Another option is to use fishing line and springs to secure the heatsink. The springs of course will be on top of the heatsink or in channels in the heatsink. You would have the fishing line going around the card top to bottom. I've done this before and it works well. This. Fishing line is …
