Re: Why SCSI?

I've recently been looking at the SCSI option as well and have asked the same question. from what i've found seems in early systems SCSI hard drives are a little quicker. also don't forget you can chain more devices where IDE is limited to 2. so with an SCSI card you can have your internal CD-rom …

I was suprised as well, it does have two PS/2 ports though which is really nice as well as two seriel ports and a parallel built into the board. also has built in VGA with a Western Digital Paradise WD90C11 chip but I disabled that and went with the ET4000 though the WDP is a decent chip. right now …

Re: Is this the "hanging note bug" or something else?

@MAU1, yeah it happens even if i restart at the same places. @5U3, yes, those are the exact spots in the video I hear it as well so at least I know its not me or that's an intentional sound. I assumed it was the bug as I said I've never actually heard any examples of it before.
Is this the "hanging note bug" or something else?
Posted on 2013-01-23, 00:45
I cant seem to find any examples in audeo files or videos of the "hanging note" bug for sb16 cards. so I'm not sure what this is. i recently bought a NEC XR385 MIDI daughter board which I paired with a SB16 CT2800. i know this card has the "hanging note" bug but i wanted to see for myself. I've …

i meant the front end d-fend as opposed to just going into acual dosbox. if by chooseing herculeas you mean goining under the graphics section and choiceing the "hercules graphics card" as opposed to say "svga_s3" then yes, ive tried it under the front end and dosbox itself with the same result. …

nope, nothing I try works. I tried your work around and all i get is CGA mode when I try it through dosbox, if i acually set the card to hercules I just get the music and no display. every game ive tried will not do herc mode. must be something with my pc?
