Hi all, I've read a few posts about mimpi, which is supposedly a DOS midi file player for the PC speaker, but i've searched and searched left and right via google and on VOGONS and cannot find any download link anywhere. Does anyone here have a copy to share ? Thanks! 😀 Terrence

Hi, not sure what Instruction Set i used to compile it but you can always get Turbo Pascal and recompile it for 8088 if it does not run. Did not try it yet on a 8088. Thanks Matthias Hi, I've yet to try the executable you posted, but the zip file doesn't contain any turbo pascal source, it just …

I figured that was really your question, the only answer is if someone writes an enabler for one of the FM synth cards to work on the 200lx, then that will be the case...unless the enablers provided with the various cards as part of the drivers work on the 200lx already, but that's really really …

Hi all, I've been googling and searching left and right, and can't quite find what I'm looking for... I'm looking for an MS-DOS command-line or UI (must support CGA) music player that can play a regular PCM .WAV file through a COVOX compatible DAC on LPT1. Also, it must run on a 8086 or 80186 CPU, …

It eventually worked without the CD unit with the original driver. I just should not have removed the switches of the driver related to cd-rom in config.sys. As for the S16 drivers, I did some hex editing and changed the name of the card, just out of curiosuty. And it started to load normally and …

Hi everyone, Since I was'nt very happy with the sound quality (having the camera's microphone record the audio from 2 tiny speakers), I re-recorded both MODs with the CVX4 connected to the line-in of a PC, then edited the videos and replaced the poor audio with the clean line-in source version. …

Hi all!, It's the new guy with the HP200LX videos again :) I've been playing around with a serdaco COVOX clone (the CVX4) with one of my 200LX Palmtop PCs, and I've had some great results with Mod Master, which I found through this forum in it's thread: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t= …

Hi all! and especially FreddyV! :) It's the new guy with the HP200LX videos again :) This is a nifty bit of software, much better than GLX imo... I tried GLX first (found it online with a google search), and it worked but was unstable, it would hang/lock up halfway during playback and at other …

From what I remember without looking for the hardware bible, your card is one of only two parallel cards it supports I think. The low max current draw is annoying, there were 1/2 slots pcmcia extender adapters with an extra power adapter, to go around that problem. Do you have a parallel storage …

That's very cool. Which parallel port pcmcia card do you use? General Midi is an option too using the Roland SCP-55 but it draws more current than what the power supply can give... Hi, It's a PCMCIA parallel port card from "Trans Digital Corporation" and it's called the "Trans PC Card Universel …

Never thought I'd see quality sound come from a 200LX; great work! Is your 200LX modified with any fancy upgrades eg. clock doubler, internal HD space? This one is'nt, it's a stock 2MB, but I have a few in which I also have a 32MHz crystal oscillator installed (I buy/repair/refurbish/upgrade/mod/ …

I love this! Thanks, I loved making these videos. I plan to add a few more... If anone has any suggestions of games that are small (eg can fit in 1MB or so) and use adlib, and can possibly be altered to support the OPL3LPT with the adpatch patching utility, name them here and I'll see if I can get …
