Hi no worries. I was doing a bit of research online and apparently everyone who does serious tape handling uses either linux or unix. So I guess I'll go with that as well. Also seems to be a lot easier just using the mt and dd commands with the drives than looking around for proprietary windows …

Thanks man, I'll check it out! Also I tried to measure the broken inductor L3, it is very hard to get a good connection but it seems to be around 16mH, is that realistic? it is quite large for an smd inductor... *edit* meeh unfortunately no philips chip in sight. 🙁

Hi, I got a troublesome CT3620. To make it come to life again, I reflowed all the QFP chips on it, and the X3 crystal wasn't producing any clock, until I desoldered L3. That's when I discovered L3 was cracked, so I bridged it with a piece of wire. Also a handful of caps were damaged so I replaced …

I also noticed, that if I for instance play back a wave file and at the same time install an application the audio stutters really a lot, …

24bit color = 8 bits per channel, R+B+G.. though the apparent 1Mbyte for each channel don't sound like much at 1 byte per color pixel, unless it's only a line buffer not a frame buffer. Yea I get that, but those are 3 triple 8-bit DACs, so 3x 3x 8-bits, which would be 72bits in total. That seems a …

It is made by Sigma Designs in 1989 It bears no apparent model number other than CMA-M2-0024. There is nothing written on the back, and …

I can run modmxt on my PC (4.77 MHz, Sound Blaster Pro) just fine. It should run on yours, and sound great at 10 MHz too. What settings (port, irq, dma) is your soundcard set to? Do you have a BLASTER environment variable set up that matches the settings, and does modmxt show those settings on …
