^ it was a feat allright to fit Sonic in an 8bit console but it was not better - naturally because of technical limitations.

Re: Post your 386 Speedsys results here
Posted on 2018-07-08, 20:38
do these results seem OK ? I have a board based on the Opti 82C495XLC chipset with a TX486DLC cpu at 40mhz. The board had some cache-size jumpers tampering and some weird PTTP cache ICs. Although amibios reported 128kb it was clear that only 32kb were used: http://i.imgur.com/7ZaDpR2l.jpg (you can …

OK, so the software is going to dickkickem though most all the floppy disks were a real problem. The lemmings disks are not reliable and the batterydisk program says that the free demonstration period is over when I run setup even though it was a sealed retail box with a register card so I don't …
Re: How about a MR-BIOS ROM file repository?
Posted on 2018-07-06, 09:58
@ Bj0rn83 you can try but be prepared for the even that the mobo won't boot correctly or even at all. To be sure install a socket for the BIOS rom - use a programmer to dump the original one and write the MR-BIOS version. If it does not work then just write the original one from your backup. @ …

Gravis UltraSound ACE Rev 1.0 & 1.1 ISA (Boxed) (1994) These were listed as defective and sold "as is" from a seller in EU. I took a gamble and they actually work just fine in my test rig right along with my SB16! Box is a nice bonus (with the exception of that stupid banner across the artwork) but …

I'd go with Seasonic, got several of their old AT PSUs and all are great. It is also my brand of choice for new PSUs nowdays.

Why not replace it with a lithium battery like this? https://www.amazon.com/LS14250-Lithium-Thiony … y/dp/B005M3D0X4 ? I use one with a board that had a Tadiran 3.6v coin-shaped battery that just had no juice after 20 years 🤣
