Re: Roland SC-88 Pro (hopefully) helpful hints

Posted on 2022-12-07, 22:10

I've looked in the manual and I don't get it. Can someone explain to me, what is the difference between choosing a different map and compatibility mode? Looking at the picture from the manual, I don't see differences between the SC-88Pro default mode SC-88 map, SC-88Pro SC-88 compatibility mode …

Re: How about a MR-BIOS ROM file repository?

Posted on 2022-12-05, 16:05

In the end I tried both of the Mr-bios files to test them, V097B5NA.BIN and V097B5NA.BIO. They have different sha-1 hash values and after flashing each one and testing I can't make out any differences. All bios options and version # appear identical. A big problem now though, all PCI cards I have ( …

The jack is correct. But I don’t think a „modern“ mic will work. I tried several one and only one worked for me. It was this one https://www.ebay.de/itm/133877655249 Okay, I educated myself about mics, and it seems most of these “small”, cheap mics used in headsets and these “stick” multimedia mics …

Searching for the fastest config running the GoldLib reliably, I've put it into a Pentium MMX PC. At 233 MHz the mixer, that didn't want to start (hung) on the VIA C3 (even at 200 MHz) would start, but playing with the surround module would still cause hard hangs. Downclocked to 100 MHz (2x 50 MHz), …

If the opto-isolator is on-board, then I would assume the other parts are also present, so a passive cable might be enough. Correct. Furthermore, this same design element was re-used with the Audiotrix Pro, so the cable intended for that card can also be used with the Ad Lib Gold. (Not that this …

[...] Does the Ad Lib Gold/GoldLib integrate the circuitry that is normally inside the MIDI cable? nope, it is exactly like the original board Yes, I know, and it seems the original had everything on board and so does GoldLib. This is the opto-isolator for the MIDI in, that normally sits inside the …

I'll report back when get a minute to do this. Thanks for your patience! Oh very cool! If you could also provide the software etc. that would be great. Thank you! Back to report my findings. Hope this helps anybody who wants to make a MIDI cable for their GoldLib in the future :) [hr] - User's …

If someone wants to use the MCS MusicRack, that was available from Adlib , it's Y2K incompatible. After launching, it will hang at the splash screen. You have to look inside MediaRacks directory for 2 files: INLIST.DBF and PLAYLIST.DBF and edit the second byte, it's the year, and it should be no …

I mentioned this on the previous page, but for those testing this card on faster/more recent systems, it will likely be helpful to try all of the four combinations between Delayed Transaction and Passive Release. I can't say if/how it will help with this specific design, but it definitely makes a …

Here are some of my finding, to get the card running on my CUBX-L motherboard with a 550 MHz VIA C3 at 100 MHz FSB. These should be similar to other 440BX based boards, or actually other boards using the PIIX4E south bridge, possible extending to the other south bridges in the PCI IDE ISA Xcelerator …

Okay, I'm done for today, unless someone knows how to make the non-FM portion of the card to work with a 440BX motherboard (ASUS CUBX-E), I will have to assemble a dedicated 386 rig for this card. I've tried slowing down the C3 to crawl (SETMUL to 300 MHz, disable L1, L2 cache and branch prediction …
