How did it go? More specifically, has anyone done this with an ISA FDD controller on a modern system? If it’s theoretically possible i’d like to know, or if anyone has done it before. Conventional PCI slots are still obtainable on modern platforms (see Supermicro X13SAE) so you wouldn’t have to do …

Picked up a PS/2 Model 50 for next to nothing... of course the floppy doesn't work... It's interesting how commonly these fail, I have 4 PS/2 systems and all floppy drives still work. Guess I'm just incredibly lucky. If you've got some soldering skill you can replace the caps and have it back up …

The built in ad lib driver only appears to support opl2 devices. Anyone got any generic OPL3 drivers for Windows 3.1 like the one in Windows 95?

Wow, some of these cards I have never heard of.

The most notable are the ChipChat, SoundPiper …

as noted by others - what a great buy! i was thinking "what bad caps?" until half way down, but i'm sure it'll be good as new when you are done i wouldn't worry about the lack of ISA, to me that board says Athlon XP and Windows XP. i'd be happy with that Confirmed it is an Athlon XP 2100+. …

Yep you were right that's what it was, thanks. Had to set it from PnP Monitor to 1280x1024 Super VGA and then it worked. Nothing wrong with the Voodoo. Hooray.

I've tried a bunch of different drivers (on Windows 98) and each time I try to set the resolution to higher than 640x480 …

Can’t seem to find the drivers for this European Aureal Vortex 1 based card anywhere. None of the “generic” drivers seem to work for it. Anyone got a hot lead on some drivers?

Hmm. Interesting. Might give it a go. Have you tested the card in Windows 3.1 and/or OS/2? Had issues with purportedly compatible cards being not compatible. Want to make sure =P

Oof gonna have to get one of these at some point. Resound 2 is fine for DOS and Win 95 but I need some Windows 3.1 action. If this had a wavetable header it would be even better. Anyone doing a board order?
