Very nice friend, AWE 64 even the Value is worth a bit of money! Its a good choice for dos. it is a bit basic for windows gaming, alot of people have both an ISA card for dos and a Live/Audigy for Windows if you wanted to go down that route Hi, been trying to read up on this, to try and get the …

it is a nice clean build! Which PSU are you using and do you get enough molex/fdd connectors on it? Also you added a seperate card for EIDE? I'm using the NZXT C850 that I got with the case. Totally overkill, but at least I know it will do everything i will (ever) need. Fully modular, so I just …

How do you get the fdd or odd in there 😂 Which SD card adapter do you use in the build? I may look at going back as the install I have (smallest sata 2,5" I could find on a ide to sata adapter) seems to be hanging and not quite sure what is causing it.. No removable media in this build, other than …

Almost finished setting up my old cobbled together P3 Slot 1 machine. Had to use a more modern PSU and Case for logistics reasons. I am trying to get retronas running on a vm as it is a real pain trying to get files over to the machine, which is fine for small files now I have usb drivers running. …

Thanks everyone for the excellent advice. I got gifted a awe 64 value isa card so I'm using that now (plus it had the joystick port). I've reinstalled the os to be safe side and I'll keep the audigy for a later machine

Still wouldn’t bother for a Windows 95 machine with some DOS gaming 🤷‍♂️ Surely for a later Windows, especially XP If the build is 200MHz Pentium or the like I agree with you. But the way he puts it "Win95/98 machine with some MSDOS Gaming (late 90s games)" leaves it a bit open. You really do …

Edit: I noticed you have 440BX board. I don't know was I just unlucky but I couldn't get Audigy 2 card to work well with my 440BX motherboard. Works fine on other later system. Could still work with your board, just thought to mention that if you decide to use it. I haven't yet tested the Audigy 2 …

Thanks for the advice. Do you know where I can get the Joystick bracket to use on the joystick header on the Audigy cards? I do have an ISA slot on this 440BX gigabyte board, can I have 2 sound cards (PCI and ISA) or is that unrealistic.

I noticed the dos drivers never loaded due to a pci card being detected. When I switched the bios to manage all resources it seem to resource the ISA to pci resource conflict which the driver might be detecting. This is for a audigy on win95.

First post here so please bear with me :) I've been digging out my older PC parts trying to build a Win95/98 machine with some MSDOS Gaming (late 90s games). Whilst I have a few AGP cards and a Voodoo 5PCI, sound cards I only have 2 to hand. SB Audigy and SB Audigy 2. I don't have breakouts for both …
