Re: Matrox G450 PCI any good use?
Posted on 2023-09-09, 22:56
as mentioned, G450 is a simple die shrink of G400 That is impossible. G450 added a second ramdac and surely they wouldn't spare transistors on an unused 128-bit memory bus while they were at it. I'm not a techie, but I remember several articles from the time referring to the G450 chip as a G400 …

Back when I started working on my first retro build (a 486 with muscles of steel), I had considered using the G450 as a 2D card, however, wanting to use the MS-DOS 6.22 + Windows 3.1 combination, I found myself limited in Windows to using the generic 256 color driver (Matrox had released Win 3.1 …

Scuse me, but Yamaha YMF 7x4 is a chip with OPL3 core that work on PCI bus, is correct? Create a sound card around this chip whit a wavetable headline and A3D component, will can be the next step (no add-on card, but a real sound card) 😁

My experience with PCMidi, Orpheus and MK8330 cards is one of simple joy 😄 In particular Orpheus II and MK8330 (complete with pcmidi add-on) are incredible cards. These boards have everything I wished a board had back in the day. The question arises: what more could you ask for in the future? 😁 ( …

Brilliant, simply brilliant! 😄 It is an exceptional build and built with parts that give a very good DOS (and I would say Win3.x) compatibility and a more than good Win98 compatibility 😄

Ok thanks a lot..the name of this driver is not new to me: could it be that I encountered it at the time of Sound Blaster 16 and Windows 3.11? It was 1993 and for Christmas my dad gave me an IBM PS/1 mod. 2133 It was my first DOS/Windows PC, it was 486SX based, 2MB RAM, CL-5424 video card with 512k …

Two days ago, I bought this motherboard for my favorite AMD K6 processors. However, I have no idea what model it is. Do you have any suggestions? I remembered seeing that card, also because I should have one too: it's a SuperGrace, follow the link on The Retro Web: https://theretroweb.com/ …

Re: Newest CPU and GPU for Windows 95?
Posted on 2023-03-31, 11:17
My thought is the following: if you want to make a build to install Windows 95 on which maintains ISA legacy compatibility, you will have to turn to platforms with Pentium 3 or Athlon (even XP) CPUs. If legacy ISA compatibility doesn't interest you, I believe you can go as far as late Pentium 4 and …

So I came across this: https://github.com/scrapcomputing/WavetablePi and haven't really seen it around but definitely going to build one. Basically a DIY project that turns a Pi Zero 2 into a Wavetable card running MT32-Pi. For those who don't know, MT32-Pi turns a Pi 3A/B, 4 or Zero 2 into an MT32 …

@Nemo1985 At the time I also looked for G400 mod G450 drivers for Windows 3.x, and from what little I found online, there doesn't seem to be any working ones. I’m sorry
Re: Matrox G450 PCI any good use?
Posted on 2023-01-25, 07:37
@Nemo1985 A little information: the G450 is to all intents and purposes a die shrink of the G400 (it adds nothing in particular) which however has not received drivers for Windows 3.x (while they exist for the G400 which however does not have a PCI variant). The only possibility, with G450 under …
Re: ORPHINIT: New Init Software For The Orpheus Sound Card
Posted on 2023-01-20, 09:43
A question: is there a driver OPL3 for Windows 3.x ? Sadly none that I know about I see. So, to use Orpheus II LT in Windows 3.x will the Crystal drivers that we used for Orpheus I be used? And in this case, will the jumper modified to select OPL3 in the DOS environment be restored to the position …
