There is no plans for an MCA version (or interest from my part to do this - never had a MCA pc or even saw one in person). I will share my thoughts - and please don't take it as any kind of promotion or sidetracking because it isn't. Personally if I would make something for MCA machines I'd focus my …

Just briefly discussed the IW78C21M1 with a few friends. Gonna send one off to a friend to confirm it's a maskprogrammed chips who also did the silicon shot of the InterWave die. That should really confirm whether all IW78C21M1 come preprogrammed or if moturimi1 was "just lucky". I bought some …

Yes it is possible for the eeproms you mention... I recommend to fill the C256 eeprom completely with the C64 data: copy /b C64.BIN + C64.BIN + C64.BIN + C64.BIN C256.BIN the above command assumes your original 28C64 dump is called "C64.BIN" and C256.BIN is the output file to be written on the …

^ nope, Gravnocd.rom serves another function - you don't have to worry about it as argus will write it when you run the included programs on the PNPMAP folder. 29F8000 needs data that are not included in the proto2.zip since they are still copyrighted... you need to dump the sample data from your …

well I liked either A or B 🤣 C I thought it had louder percussion sounds and generally it seemed to me that some samples are more emphasized than others

I wasn't referring to the high-res 640x350 EGA mode, I should have made clear I was referring to low-res 320x200 stuff 😀 So with the new update one could play for example Commander Keen EGA on the new 720x480@60Hz mode?

[...] I've just tried the EGA wonder in a PC-Chips m918i motherboard, and it doesn't post. The same mobo posts with an 8-bit VGA card. Is this a BIOS limitation or some sort of incompatibility? In the BIOS settings VGA/EGA is selected for video. The m918i is kind of a late 486 motherboard and it …
