Thank you to everyone who responded! Will see what it reads when loaded and also consider a different PSU.

Roland SC-55 power supply voltage

I have a Roland SC-55 unit with it's original PS rated for 100V input and 9V DC output. I use it with a step down 220-110 converter. Just out of curiosity I measured the voltages with a multimeter. Wall output - 225, converter - 112, PS - 15V! 15 instead of expected 9-10. Or is it because there is …

Here's a photo of my PCMCIA sound card collection. I'm missing dongles for the CF-VEW212, but it doesn't need it, since it can leverage the PC Speaker for output. I didn't receive a dongle for the .WAVjammer or the IBM 3D Sound Card when I purchased them and haven't been able to find a replacement. …

I'm very curious about the IBM 3D Sound Card. It's not the same as the IBM Audio Adapter. I haven't been able to find any information about it, including drivers, so the cable is kind of moot anyways. It's a very well known and documented card. Here is official IBM page http://ps-2.kev009.com/ …

I had problems with one of my cards in a 486 too. It turned out that the MIDI portion was actually a software synthesizer and the CPU was too slow to emulate it quickly enough for smooth playback. Try putting it in a faster machine to see if that makes a difference. Guess you mean the Turtle Beach …

Guys, for some reason I can't get my Yamaha PCC10XG working on a Thinkpad 360CE(486DX50). I tried both W95 and 98. The card installs fine. And even the output to the MIDI port seems to work. But output to the MIDI Synth doesn't. It makes some noise and then the player crashes with an error - …

Hey Bondi. Sure and will also add the Suspense, which is one of my favourite. And by the way I think the problem is not with the EMU8000 ic in your card, it is either the PCMCIA (higher chance) or the cable connector for sure! I have programmed 1000s of microcontrollers for an electrical company. …

Some more PCMCIA goodies. IBM Smart Capture Card - a video capture card notable for working in DOS. Quatech Parallel port SPP-100 card - very compatible, has drivers for HP 200LX, DOS, and up to Win XP TDK DMC9000 - a great sounding MIDI card, finally got a new one to replace my non-working one IMG_ …
Re: PCMCIA/PCCard XTIDE Option Bootrom card?

From what understood form the discussion with yyzkevin(the guy that is making a pcmcia network/sound card) it is actually possible to have this kind of option rom on a pcmcia card. His card actually supports it and uses it for network boot of his of the emulated ne2000 card. So any laptop bios that …

Did you try inserting the card under Windows 9.x? How is it detected? It may be some more common rebranded card.

I think by now I'm ready for my MSDOS gaming PC build. My experience with personal computers was quite a bit different from people from the West. First off, we were at least 10 years behind in the PC market and having a PC/XT or PC/AT class machine in the early 90s was quite the luxury. When the …

I had this loose Ratoc card lying around, so I made a dongle for it of a spare cable for an IDE card I had. It's a Hirose 32 pin connector. In the original breakout box there are no passive or active components on the line out trace, so it's very straightforward to make. 5572 pinout.jpg IMG_2418.jpg …

Bought these rarish PCMCIA cards. Panasonic CF-JTV101 - a TV tuner and a Noteworthy PC Card Digital Camera - a clone of Canon PowerShot30. Not to be confused with Canon CE300 that works only with PC110 palmtop. Noteworthy/PS30 have normal Windows drivers. My understanding is that all these cameras …

I've already been looking in archived first-party sites, and they do not always have the files archived, or force the user to go through a search box or selection menu, which usually doesn't work. I'm just looking for any old non-official sites that hosted video, audio, storage, etc. drivers, that …
