There are two FM OPL3 “enablers” - vendor original VIAFMTSR and homebrew VIASBCFG. Did you try first and second? I haven't come across either of those. What I found was VDMSOUND (https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=900) I just found and tried VIAFMTSR that didn't work. Will look for …

Are you talking about the "vdmsound" utility? I tried that and it doesn't work. Well okay it enabled some (choppy) music in wolfenstein 3d but then when I tried other dos games (such as doom) it just made loud noises. Or are you talking about something else? No, vxd drivers instead of wdm drivers. …

I have been playing around more with the SB Live card now that I found the setting to disable "OnChip Sound". If I moved the card to a different PCI slot then windows detected it and installed drivers but as soon as the drivers install the system hangs. On reboot it's not working and if I try to …

So you can play midi music in windows …

Thanks, Telix worked fine I just got tlx322_1.zip, unzipped it, copied just the telix.exe and ansi.key and ran it. It created a few configuration files but even with those the whole thing fit on a non-bootable 360kb flopy with about 80kb to spare.

oh that's right, if you only have an A: drive and you refer to B: then it makes B: access A: but after prompting you. I forgot that, thanks!

I know about diskcopy which can be used to copy an entire disk using a single drive but is there a way to copy just one file from disk A to disk B when you have only one floppy drive (no hard drive either)? using MS Dos 6.22 or lower?

I am looking for a dos program. I found an old version of procomm on winworld but it looks like it's two 360k floppies so I'm assuming it needs to be installed to a HDD. The only version of Telix available on that site is for windows. However there are a few others on that site so I'll go through …

I'm looking for something that doesn't need to be installed onto a HDD so that it can be used in a PC that doesn't have one. If it supported ANSI that would be a nice …

Okay so after a lot more playing around with it I found out that a) setmul was not working regardless of what command line arguments I gave it and b) monuments of mars would intermittently work even with the L1 cache on. So I guess I'm still looking for a way to disable the L1 cache on this CPU.

you know what I think i just was lacking the "/" before "L1D". strangely I get the same output from setmul no matter what but if I type "setmul /L1D" it works. Anyway thanks for answering 😀
