About the transformer - there is another thread here and it works like you say, you can move the cable to 230v and it will work. Better search for the thread but I am 99,9% sure it works like that.

It is true there is "and only" ram because intel chipsets do not support some ic density configuration.... It's like we are back 20 years 🤣 🤣

I kinda remember this is because of the VESA BIOS of these cards that enable linear framebuffer, if you disable this then the flicker will be gone

A CT1600 will be great for what you need, this is what I use nowdays in my 233mmx build. I can't think of a better card for DOS stuff.

I just got the kickstarter progress email - it seems MT-32 support wasn't the only thing that got canned, the intro and some maps also got removed. At least the extra maps will be available in the "full" digital version but it is my understanding that the intro will never be coded. Way too many …

I would gladly send PCMIDI card(s) to the person/team that would make this happen. All this time I was under the impression that MT-32 soundtrack would be on disk, not some recording... it's a shame IMHO but now at least we can hope for a patched version thanks to Scali 😀

I had a very similar card in the past, but I never tested this internal speaker functionality... I like the idea behind it though!

Well I hope they offer a download with mt-32 support so anyone with the needed hardware can enjoy the game this way if they prefer. I can see the cga version goal to be a "1 disk" deal for xt class systems but since we also have vga graphics then support for all audio hardware should go with that …

They are potentiometers, maybe they are used to fine-tune the output voltages, hard to tell with those pics.

I use 27C128 eproms and just burn there the 12kb AT XT-IDE bios , works fine on my 286/386 and even 486 setups that I need large hdd support.
