First I would clean the edge connectors with good pencil eraser and then ISO alcohol and paper towel. Those hard tinned type are know for issues more than the brass/gold plated one in my experience.

Can this be possible using midi-USB converters? Than I can use dosbox or scummvm with MT-32? If it is possible. Does it matter what kind of soundcard i use? And will it be better than MUNT?

Btw what monitor will you be using for your Pentium 3 rig? I will buy something to cover up all systems (they won't be connect same time, will change the system when I bored). so there will always be an one monitor. Any suggestions? For temporary usage I have a local brand led monitor 20" Do you …

If your board had AGP, I'd probably go with the TNT2 (which is not the M64 version I presume? Because those are fairly different and they get mixed up a lot) or the Voodoo 3 (Voodoo 3 would be the pick here I would go for first imho). I have 2 tnt's. One of them strictly says M64 while the other …
