I can also verify that the LAPC-I and MPU-IPC-T don't have a problem running in a p1/200mmx machine

heh... the difference one "_" makes... you can always use OnTrack Disk Manager in the case you won't be able to update the BIOS... I have a retro K6-II laptop for my willem programmer, I find the DSTN screen to be a huge drawback... it's horrible!

PLOP boot manager is simply unbeatable. http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanagers.html tons of options, nice gui with gfx/text modes, SAFE partition hiding, restorable if something goes wrong... 😊
Re: What new console will you be buying this holiday season?

I have the ps2 since it was new and is indeed a GREAT console, miles ahead of the competition in terms of software. Many great and exclusive games. The PS3 has also many exclusive and hidden gems, now that it will get cheaper it's a good chance to grab one as well 😉

Yep, replacing is the only option here IMHO Have you found a source for the DACs? utsource seems to have them

Interesting... there are a couple of people here that have broked XR-385 cards IIRC, maybe it's just the DAC... but why does it fail?

tested in both games, Fl. Key Click is selected fine in the newer SC-55/MU80 and works perfect. As expected the older unit plays nothing on channel #11 with the patched .hog files. The SCB-7 also plays nothing with the patched .hog files. I guess it's either breath noise or nothing on it. Thanks for …

Re: Need some advice on repairing solder on NEC XR385
Posted on 2013-10-29, 20:03
I would advice caution since you have no prior experience... since the components on the XR385 are surface mount ones , you can easily damage the pads they are soldered on. If you find someone with a little experience it's a 5seconds job. If you decide to do it your self get a 15-20W soldering iron …

there is also another difference... gog version has speech on the aird intro, my original release cd does not have it... plus the original cd flashes "Infogrames" at the bottom of the screen on the attic, the gog version flashes "Iumotion/Infogrames" probably they added the speech on the trilogy re- …

You won't find many console fanboys on a retro PC gaming forum. You will, however, find a few multi-platform players such as myself. That said, I still play many games on the PC. I tend to buy the game for the best system it runs on. I'm definitely getting the PS4. To me, it looks to be the best …

a sidenote, GOG has the AITD trilogy on offer for 2$ ... you can create perfectly fine CD images from the GOG package to use on a real DOS pc if you want 😉
