Nice find! V30 stuff is rare - at least where I live... And you are correct, xt-class machines work only with low density drives and judging from your tests this is also the case for your setup... Maybe you'll be able to write a bios rom with HD-FDD support added or use an xt-ide controller ? These …

I have uploaded the mp3 on tinyupload: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=09891248816631417444 I haven't noticed malware on mediafire or had any complaints before - then again I do use an adblocker on chrome so even if there was a pop-up it did not open. Also I don't have an old-style …

I just made a recording, the game doesn't have ground-breaking MT-32 music but it sounds OK to me: link on post down below Test system is a 386sx33 with 16kb of cache (enabled) , music quest mpu and EGA graphics. Did not get the dreaded buffer overflow error on the mt-32.

maybe mt-32 support was removed from 1.4 because it never was working? I have not checked 1.3 will do and report back

Looks like a broken solder joint to me or the motherboard has sockets for the 2 battery pins and the one pictured is just bent. It definitely needs to make contact all the time.

Hmmmm I wouldn't really touch the 15 and 21khz pots at the back , these are calibrated at the factory and if you mess with one it could affect the other setting and then you'll embark on a journey to fix it... If you really need MDA then I can see 2 options: - get a real mono mda monitor - get the …

I used to spend thousands on amiga hardware... I know this addiction too well. Nowdays I just keep what I will use or really like and maybe a spare if possible. I have clearouts where I gift or sell the extra stuff I amassed and this works good for me, keeping only 10~20% of stuff that there is a …
