Did you go to the latest GUS drivers? Maybe install ProPatches? Get the latest drivers (4.11) here: http://www.gravisultrasound.com/ Edit: just re-read and noticed you tried the drivers already. 😖 Don't mind me!

What do you have in AUTOEXEC.BAT? It might be that you don't have a complete file set in C:\ULTRASND, or some files are corrupted.

Why do you think the government is so afraid of an EMF pulse being used as a weapon? It would disable all electronic devices in the country. Such an EMP would be many orders of magnitude stronger than anything you could achieve in your home. We're talking the kind of levels found in an atomic …

Well, I liked it's color... Also, it wasn't that expensive. I think I paid 1euro for that, and 3,5 for each of the other two. And while a friend also bought quite a few from the same seller, we split the shipping cost. I remember my dad having a Video7 card in his computer. Apparently it had decent …
Re: Will This VGA Cooler fit a 9800 Pro?
Posted on 2012-02-17, 00:27
I'd try to find one of the fans that looks like a radial engine from an airplane or a broken card that has one on it. Those are some of the coolest looking stock fans for a 9800 I have ever seen. My 9800XT looks exactly like that, but has a Sapphire brand label over the top. It's going into my …

Um, kay? I have one spare AT case, I can't decide whether to build a fast Tillamook MMX system, or something built around that M-II. I didn't literally leave the CPUs on my keyboard, but short of putting them away into an anti-static bag, I'm not really sure what to do with em. They both work, I do …
Re: More accuration time in DOSBOX
Posted on 2012-02-16, 22:14
I have an old DOS app that needs accurate time ...DOSBox isn't designed for your non-game app. So to answer your question: Can anyone give me advice on how to get this included in DOSBOX upstream? Prove that it's useful for DOS games, write a solution, submit it. Or, create a fork of DOSBox to run …

There was an Amstrad just like that one on ebay just recently, in Brisbane - I was wondering if it might have been you :P Yeah, I saw that one too, I was half-tempted 'til I saw the price. Anyway, if you want the flaky CT1350 you can have it, but it doesn't have the SAA1099P chips, and I may not …

I'm pretty sure there are issues between the earlier SCI "VGA" games, UART mode MPU-401s, and fast CPUs. Try one of the "MTBLAST" type sound drivers from here , along with the game speed/timing patches from here . In my experience, the MTBLAST driver for SQ1VGA also worked on SQ4 and will probably …

Re: Serial -> PS2 mouse adaptor, any interest? (with PIC , for real ps2/usb mice)
Posted on 2012-02-15, 10:04
Chiming in here... any update? My new Dual Socket 7 board has PS2, so now only my 486 depends on a serial mouse. This adaptor would bring my setup to perfection!

If the serial cable is in fact working, you can bootstrap FastLynx over a serial cable, using the CTTY command. Don't know about Laplink.

In both cases interlnk returns with "Connection NOT established, Driver NOT loaded". It doesn't matter which com port I use. Interlink needs a bunch of switches to run properly. You also need to run Intersvr on one end, and Interlink on the other. Or maybe see if you can track down a proper file …
