Re: Ultima 6 no midi?

I often use my 8820 in place of my SC-55 mk2, and in 99.9% of cases it works/sounds just fine - sometimes better, sometimes 'different'. I believe the 8820 and 8850 are largely the same in terms of samples, so I would think both either could be a pretty good option instead of a 'regular' GM module …

Re: If you own a Sony VAIO PCG-Fxxx series laptop, inspect it for corrosion as soon as possible!

Yeah, that sounds very much like what I observe (at least the power LED functionality and that of the power button). I actually have a CR2032 holder, diode and fresh jst plug on the bench, ready to build up a CMOS battery for this thing, but once I figured out that it only seemed to be the RTC which …

Re: If you own a Sony VAIO PCG-Fxxx series laptop, inspect it for corrosion as soon as possible!

Mine died spontaneously as well on my second laptop. I couldn't figure out what was wrong either, but I only checked the passive components and traces at the time. Maybe it's one of the ICs. I thought that it was a fluke at the time. Now it'd like to try replacing some components to try and get to …

Re: If you own a Sony VAIO PCG-Fxxx series laptop, inspect it for corrosion as soon as possible!

I think I have just witnessed a failure of one of these power boards in real time. Because with the power supply connected and the mains power switched on..... IMG20250123132035.jpg ... it is now completely dead again. Not even the mains standby indicator illuminated. If this is indeed the case, …

Re: If you own a Sony VAIO PCG-Fxxx series laptop, inspect it for corrosion as soon as possible!

I've not been able to find a working driver for the R5C478 in native Cardbus mode, which means I'm stuck with slower 'Fast Ethernet' devices, rather than full speed. But non-Cardbus devices *do* appear to work just fine. Try Cardware from https://tssc.de/ I did; the most recent one - it locked up …

Re: If you own a Sony VAIO PCG-Fxxx series laptop, inspect it for corrosion as soon as possible!

The onboard Ricoh PCMCIA chipset seems to work with SS365SL.exe as found in Cardsoft (via some generic back-compatability mode I suspect).... but it will only work in non-Cardbus mode. I've not been able to find a working driver for the R5C478 in native Cardbus mode, which means I'm stuck with …

Re: Issue with ESS Solo 1 and DOS games

Have you seen this topic: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=79832 By changing essolo.ini you can set it to use different resources. Followed the steps and opened the .ini file using a hex editor for changing the IRQ to 7 and then restarted the system into pure DOS mode (using command prompt …
