All I could find was a tiny picture and no more info, maybe you could just install a 100uF 16V or 25V all in the place where the caps are missing, that way at least you won't make a mistake. Filename scd100.jpg File size 23.2 KiB Views 217 views File license Public domain

POD83 cannot work stably at 100Mhz under the default voltage, and the Octek HIPPO15 motherboard I used did not have the required 4V voltage, so I removed the LM912 on the CPU and installed a DC-DC module with 12V input and output set to 4.1V, which worked very stably at 100Mhz. 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg
[Help wanted] to make changes to the PCI frequency division for SIS496/497 and IMI SC464

Hello everyone, I have a BEK-P407 motherboard, based on SIS 496/497 chipset, using IMI SC464 clock chip, the motherboard works very stably and the compatibility is very good, especially it has a 4V processor voltage, which can help POD83 overclock to 100 smoothly. But there is a problem that …

This is the FIC 4386-VIO motherboard, which is very good and can meet all needs from 386DX to 486DX2. The only regret may be that there is no VLB. https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/fic-4386-vio

Posted on 2024-09-25, 11:36
Simon the Sorcere requires a Intelligent Mode MPU-401 interface, you need to check if the sound card you are using supports this mode, perhaps you can try using SoftMPU or HardMPU to get Intelligent Mode MPU-401 support.
Re: Best DOS ISA card to pair with WP32 McCake?
Posted on 2024-09-18, 11:06
SoftMPU is good, but it is a TSR, and some people may be bothered by it, I am one of them, so I chose its hardware implementation, HardMPU-wt. Games that require the Roland intelligent mode MIDI interface can be seen in this list. https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/List_of_MT-32-compatible_ …
Re: Best DOS ISA card to pair with WP32 McCake?
Posted on 2024-09-17, 11:13
If you consider that some games require a Roland intelligent mode MIDI interface, perhaps a combination of an ISA sound card and a HardMPU-wt card is a better choice.

I also have doubts about IBM 486SLC upgrade. I have a motherboard with IBM 386SLC 25Mhz installed, it works well, by chance I got a motherboard that is said to be installed with IBM 486SLC2, it was severely damaged due to battery leakage and could not be repaired, which gave me a bold idea, can I …

Roland SC-55ST or SC-50？

Are you using a GMB-486SPS or PKM-0033S motherboard? From the manual, it is known that this motherboard supports 4.0V processor voltage, so you can hack the processor to work at 4V, which will greatly increase the success rate of POD83 oc 100. Should take a look at this. https://www.vogons.org/ …
