Re: 386DX40 build

The seller's photo looked similar to the CPU in Donut King's original post. If the seller had included a photo of the underside of the CPU section (to show no pins!), then there would be no misunderstanding. It would be very obvious the chip had been hack-sawed away from a mobo, and not a chip to …

I've got a confession to make. It's not easy saying this. I bought 10 of them. :depressed: :depressed: :depressed: :depressed: :depressed: :depressed: :depressed: :depressed: :depressed: :depressed: I thought "get 10, and 3 won't work, so that leaves 7. I can do some mad experiments on 2 of them, …

No. The system boots to command prompt as standard. (How long is the track? Should I leave it for the music to wraparound to see if it occurs later?) With that particular test, usually the problem occurs immediately. Occasionally it takes a minute or two. I think if you can't detect anything odd …

Just tried it - I can't hear any notes/keys stuck on. I tried with both SB effects & GM music 0x300 and SB effects + Wave Blaster music @0x300 (with the same XR385 card). The music sounded no different to choosing SB effects and the Sound Canvas @0x330 option using my Midiman MM401 card. Are you …

Some of my 386 bits have arrived, but I have made a mistake about the processor. I bought this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230394428942 Unfortunately, it's just a chip soldered to a hack-sawed piece of mobo. I can't actually use it. I need to get another processor. Can …

Um... hate to burst your bubble here, but those modules won't work in your 386 board. You need 30 pin SIMMs for that, and those aren't 30-pin SIMMs. Actually, I'm pretty sure those modules are proprietary and won't work in anything other than an AST machine. Phew, I didn't buy any! Thanks a lot for …

What does this mean, please people? 1MB Write Per Bit Simm Module. This SIMM stick can be seen here, on ebay . I'm looking for some more 1mb SIMMs, for the Contaq 386 mobo, as featured in DonutKing's original post. The ebay seller has lots of them, and they are cheap. I could buy 4. The SIMMs have 9 …

Mine arrived last week - hooked it up to my CT2290 SB16 and it works perfectly. Have you tried the "Hexen hanging note bug test"? To do this, download the free to download Hexen shareware demo. Then, run Hexen at the DOS prompt like this: Hexen -warp 02 Do you hear a stuck music note, when you have …
