Wow, this really looks like mint condition! Congratulations. Take care about hinges, if you notice they are getting tight, disassemble it immediately and clean / reoil them or else case will brake. What was the title for this lot on eBay? I’m subscribed for Toshiba 2805 but didn’t see this. I’m …

:) ya, I have been experimenting a bit lately with the WDM driver for the 2805. And found that after I unistalled the driver. I used uniextract on the cab file, and I can force the device manager to install it as "Yamaha DS-XG Leacy Sound System (WDM)" which is missing from the defualt install. No …

Well, I finally found a 402!!! I’ve been looking for over a year. This one was on eBay, and it is in excellent condition, even including the stickers. There’s just a little bit of wear on the palm rest energy sticker and that’s about it! It works perfectly, and the scaling is amazing! I already have …

Anyone remember the specs of RTC battery in our laptop? Wanna buy a new one. After searching part numbers, I found this one on Amazon of all places. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XD25BCK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I haven't had time to install it yet, but the part …

Sorry if the phrasing was confusing guys, I mean that I got a "for parts" S402 in addition to my other unit which was an S202 with S3 Graphics, a smaller screen, no smartmedia or firewire, etc. The other unit is fine but this one has thinner screen borders and a bad screen. It otherwise posts …

I recently upgraded from my S3 2805 to a Geforce one and after getting (most) of the driver differences figured out I now have to address the elephant in the room about mine. There is a dead horizontal line going across the LCD screen. Curiously, the rest of the screen works fine. Does anyone here …
Re: Success!! Finally Got Sound Blaster Working with Tandy DAC on Tandy 1000 TL/2
Posted on 2023-08-14, 02:23
Just tried Outrun in my Tandy TL and it didn't work. Choosing the CGA option causes a system reboot, while choosing the Tandy option causes it to lock up. I even tried removing various expansion cards including the video card, Thunder Board and MIDI card, and it still didn't work. Sorry to hear …

Not sure, but definitely let me know if Outrun freezes your system or if it works along with the DAC sound effects. Just tried Outrun in my Tandy TL and it didn't work. Choosing the CGA option causes a system reboot, while choosing the Tandy option causes it to lock up. I even tried removing …

The "DMA Sharing" jumper on the SB2.0 and Pro cards never did anything helpful for me in this regard; I've long-since been using software-configurable cards in Tandy PSSJ-bearing systems instead. Since the sharing sounds like it's working for you, I'm curious to know what the difference might be. …

This is interesting! I've been using Media Vision Thunder Boards (SB 1.5 clone) in my Tandy TL builds. The Thunder Board is hardwired to DMA 1. Haven't run into issues previously, though I never tried Outrun. I'll have to give that a try and see if it has issues. It basically was freezing my system …

Hey everyone! I thought I'd share my Retro Success Story today for anyone else who might be trying to make something like this work! I have a Tandy 1000 TL/2, and I love the Tandy DAC and the Tandy 3 Voice Sound Chip as well. However, some games don't use either one, and I really wanted a Sound …

Thanks! That’s what I was hoping for. I will try the DMA sharing first and see if that works. If not, I can always swap the DMA jumper on and off when needed.
Sound Blaster 2.0 DMA Jumper Question
Posted on 2023-07-13, 15:59
Hi everyone! I have a Sound Blaster 2.0 CT1350B sound card in my Tandy 1000 TL/2. It’s working great, but it does render the Tandy DAC inoperative. The computer freezes anytime I try to use the Tandy DAC now. I’m assuming it’s a DMA conflict as the Sound Blaster is on IRQ 5, and the Tandy DAC is …

Hi everyone! I got a 2805-S401 a few months ago, and it’s been working great! (I couldn’t find a 402). The only weird issue it has is that no matter which driver I use, the FM sound is very flaky in Windows Dos Box. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. However, games are detecting it every …
