The first time when it did boot, the first thing I did was to go into BIoS and looked at the vcore voltage and it reported 1.4v. Don’t know if the CPU is broken now somehow, but the motherboard still works with another CPU so that’s good :) Congratulations, the case has moved forward. Check the …

I manager to get ahold of a MS6905 Master rev.2. Tried without the VID mod since it has jumpers to set voltage on the slotket. So just isolated the 3 PINs(also bridging AK4-AN11. Managed to get it to boot the first time at 100FsB. But it froze when identifying the disks. And the subsequent boot …

Hi! Loving my picogus, but I have a weird problem that 30%-50% of the times I boot I get picogus not initialized when running pgusinit. It’s solved by rebooting once or sometimes twice. I’ve tried 2 different motherboards but still the same problem. Haven’t used dos in ages so probably I’m missing …

Regarding 2. - Shouldn't I also isolate AN3(I don't know why, just that everyone seems to have done that :D )? Everyone hopes that the float pin will pull the charge and there will be a logical "1". With all my tualatins, "1" is very erratic. After a couple of minutes, it often drops to "0". If the …

8 MB is enough for most sound fonts. Larger sound fonts can have a loading time of ~ 1 Minute. But As the SIMM sockets aren't that good quality It may be a pain to get the modules out without damaging the sockets. So please don't try pairs of 256 kB or 1 MB modules. Thanks! I’ll go with the 2x4MB I …

Managed to get my hands on a MS-6905 Master v2. So if the soon modded super slocket iii doesn’t work, I’ll try that one instead. Seems that more people have reported success with that one. It also supports setting the voltage via jumpers, so perhaps only isolating the pins is needed(and the AK4 …

There are some excellent soundfonts that fit within 8MB, but obviously there are bigger and better ones that require more RAM. RAM modules should be quite easy to buy almost everywhere on ebay. The CT3900 is usually quite an expensive card. Thanks, any good recommendations to try out on the once …

Hi! Never been much into sound cards until recently. Just got my hand on a CT3900 which I read was supposed to be a quite good model(probably depending on ears and use cases) :) Paid approx. 90EUR(tested and working), hope that wasn't too much? I've got 2x4MB 32-pin RAM modules somewhere, thought …

As with any popular (albeit long-standing) topic, a more of urban legends was born. 1. Check connection G35 to G37 at socket. At any copermine-ready system its must be connected by default. But there are exceptions, so you need to make sure. All Vtt does not need to be checked, it is enough that it …

Thanks for all the input. Just sat down and tried to get started with the CPU and the generic slotket which supports coppermine according to the manual. I bridged AK4-AN11 on the CPU. Found this article regarding moddig a generic slotket: https://www.oocities.org/_lunchbox/generic_slotket_mod.html …

A mod for this board would need fresh reverse engineering work and possibly a new code base. As I don't own related …

Oh! I think I know exactly what you are talking about! So, if you were at all like me, you wanted to use the SB Live's line-in in DOS because you have another soundcard you want to use for DOS, as opposed to the SB Live's substandard emulation. I'm not sure why, and I believe the source code for …

Hi! Is it possible to use SB live in DOS and get audio from the line-in jack while not using up to much resources? The default mixer included with the dos drivers don’t list line-in. I’ve tried the DOSMIXER (ek1m.exe) that I found here on vogons. And while it works, it eats up 30MB or so of expanded …

I just figured out that my USB cable was glitchy. Changed cable and now I'm running 0.7.0 on my P3B-f rev. 1.04, 440BX chipset. I can see that 440BX is not listed as working chipsets on the WIKI. Haven't tried it more than a couple of hours now, but working good so far 😀
