Whaaat? Does anyone know if it's possible to use 2 6-button controllers in games like Super Street Fighter II? Unfortunately I don't think it will. The joyport of the pc supports a maximum of 12 inputs without midi hacks and such. The 12 inputs are: Joy1 left Joy1 right Joy1 up Joy1 down Joy1 …

Many of the old Sierra games took advantage of the Tandy DAC for sound effects.

You can map shared printer ports to your local LPT ports. net use LPT1: \\192.168.1.100\printer If you do so, you don't need a printer driver at all - but in your DOS application; like the HP LaserJet driver. Contemporary printers either supported PostScript or HPGL - or both. And if your start the …

Pickle, when using Tandy 3-voice sound on the PicoGUS, does the digital playback work? Tandys usually had 3-voice + DAC.

How well does printer sharing work with WFW 3.11 using Microsoft's TCP/IP?

I bought a couple of those and they all came busted up. They were super crappy cases with thin plastic bezels and on top of that the plastic had turned very brittle. The guy was also a major jerk to deal with about it. I guess I'll have to see what I can find out there and hope for the best. Not …

I like the idea of using a NIC whose driver is already included in the OS. Just one less manual step.

It should work by connecting the output of the PicoGUS into the line-in port of the AWE64 Legacy and the WP32-McCake sound is fed through the WaveBlaster connector. The only thing that you should be worrying is about setting the resources for both sound cards. You mean I/O port address, IRQ, and …

Depends on the design of the power supply. Older style AT power supplies often used one or more ceramic power resistors to operate correctly. Without airflow those could reach 100+ degrees (Celsius). More modern designed AT power supplies didn't rely on those and ran pretty cool at moderate …

Has anyone tried the following combination of sound cards on the same system? I'm wondering about conflicts or other potential issues. -AWE64 Legacy -WP32-McCake plugged into the AWE64 Legacy's Waveblaster header -PicoGUS This seems to cover the major standards I'm interested in, namely, AWE32/SB16, …

Thanks for the information. I'll try to track down tcp32b.exe. I do remember using Trumpet in Windows 3.1 I wonder if there is much difference between the Microsoft Vs Trumpet implementations.

Ryccardo, interesting idea. It sounds like a bit more trouble though. 😀
