(Also I assumed by that you mean not plugged into ISA. That was without the card attached to the Pocket8086 at all)

Hi, On the Book8088, Plug the power cord is mandatory (at the max frequency) I/O is not really supposed to fail, maybe there is a conflict with a port in the Book8086. Can you try to do "i 2A3" in debug with the PicoMEM not plugged ? I may also purchase a Book8086 later... [/quote] All my testing …

I ordered an 8088 from ebay. I'll give that a go and then try the PicoMEM and see if it makes a difference (It supports 8088 processors too) Gave this a go. The Pocket8086 accepted an Intel 8088 no problem, but no luck with the PicoMEM. Same deal. Pressing a key doesn't allow the boot to continue. …

I just tried it on my new Pocket8086. It freezes up when loading the PicoMEM BIOS. I ordered an 8088 from ebay. I'll give that a go and then try the PicoMEM and see if it makes a difference (It supports 8088 processors too) There's a section in the manual saying it accesses memory in "16-bit mode" …

Would it be possible to squeeze in this BASIC (or *a* BASIC) into Sergey's Book8088 BIOS ROM alongside the BIOS proper and XT-IDE? It would be nice if the Book8088 booted into BASIC if no CF card was inserted (or manually with F8) I was wondering the same thing for my Pocket8086. I picked up a …

I use FreeDOS. I'm getting this when I run ORPHINIT with JEMM. With EMM386 (or nothing) it works fine. Filename 4032-3024-max.jpg File size 1.97 MiB Views 1967 views File license GPL-2.0-or-later UNISOUND works so I'll use that for the time being, but I wanted to let you know.

Thanks for the help everyone! Aw too bad about the intelligent mode. The video said it did have that. (at least, that's what I assumed he meant by 'full mpu-401 midi interface with no hanging note bugs' but maybe that's not what that means?)

I saw this ISA card on YouTube and decided to give it a go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_L_1tvH1Ew I intend to use this entirely under DOS, so I got the DOS driver on the YouTuber's site: https://www.philscomputerlab.com/audician-32-plus.html And I grabbed a cheap gameport to MIDI adapter on …

Does the PS/1 Audio Option count? There's a new-in-box one on ebay right now for $750. Ouch.

How do you build the source?

Incredible work. Talk about saving the day. Absolutely fantastic stuff. Thought I'd make an account to share my experiences so far. Hardware: MSI MS5182 K6-2 475 512 MB RAM IDE-CF adapter IDE CD-ROM drive Sound Blaster Live Only tested on FreeDOS so far. I've noticed that the OPL is very quiet …
