A friend gifted me a SBC board and I could finally use an industrial SBC enclosure I had: http://i.imgur.com/O9M8GAcl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/uzudKxLl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/xRlb5MUl.jpg The SBC is a 5x86/133mhz with a CHIPS 65550 integrated vga. I tried Phil's benchmark suite and I get ~41fps in …

If dosbox can emulate a nic then install Windows for Workgroups 3.11 , nic drivers and then the tcp/ip package and you'll be online without modems or dialers. At least that's how it works with real hardware...

I've always solved my speed issues with either cache disabling or utilities like Mo'Slo , never had to use softmpu to delay transfers on my 233mmx build. Maybe it's a per case thing though, wouldn't surprise me as these issues are driver ones that can't cope with faster machines. Another thing to …

There is a type of exhaust fan that looks like this (and it's called snail fan here) and it's used mainly as a dedicated fan for a hood that you prepare food under it (in restaurants for example). It looks terrible , personally I'd just sell it 🤣 🤣 🤣

Mau1wurf1977 = Phil ;) well this doesn't mean tpowell.ca is spreading misinformation, all these deal-ios with ancient hardware is almost a per-case situation: tpowell.ca's setup works fine, Phils did not. Maybe it was power issues, maybe it was the 2nd hand quadra, maybe the 401AT does not provide …

@the_ultra_code no that was not the video, it was some other not specific to the device and he mentioned that it dropped notes / went out of sync , something along these lines. I'll look for that later, I am 99% sure it was Phil edit: found it, it was a post in 2013 that is made after the video …

@the_ultra_code sadly making a PCI version without needing some sort for softmpu tsr (thus making the whole effort pointless) is not possible , it's just the way PCI works. That's why PCI sound cards are not recommended for DOS usage and that's why back then manufacturers came up with the PC/PCI …

root42 do you have any measurements on where to drill the holes? I build some cards for a friend and it would make life easier to know where to drill exactly 😀
