What software do you use for the serial routing to the mt32?

Ok, so only "amouse-compatible" software is used 😀

I don't think so. Quickview is OK, no glitches. It must be another thing. Perhaps it's a mouse thing? Wiered pixel occur while moving the mouse. In these two programs. The mousrdriver is from commodore (amouse). I will not use any other.

Interestingly Desk2 does also fail on my setup (A2286/8 1MB ET4000). It produces lots of graphical issuis, while counterpoint (CP) works very nicely in VGA mode. Seems to be, that both QM3/DESK2 use the same VGA-Bibs from Borland? that m gfx-card does not like? Thx Doc

I have two or three acorn mice, non of them are fully working 🙁 so I went for an PS/2 Adapter instead. This thing is working fine. I am searching for the PC-Upgrade-card for my A4000 a long time. All I could find are some later PC-Cards for the Risc-Machines.

yesterday I configured the basic-stuff on my A2286/8 with "The Hard-Disk-Manager" and all I can tell you is, that's superbe and fast. I will defently use this for XT/AT/Tandy machines. 386+ I will go for something like QM3.

I never used dosshell because it's so slow if you have lot's of files. I am a nc/vc user since 1988. The smallest and fastest menu-system I have and probably will use on my A2286 is called "hard-disk-manager" and I found it on my neighbors 8088xt laptop which he had purchased in the us and brought …

I considered this already, but there must be another Solution for getting no error's with an ET4000. QM3 should have been tested on this tseng-cards. Perhaps it's because the cpu 286/8 is too slow? I do not have a 386/486 with ET4000. All I have is an ET400/w32 onboard on a 486/dx2/66 but there are …

On ET4000/1MB it does produce wiered errors. In EGA-Mode it's OK, but therefore the ET4000 needs to be switched to ega "vmode ega" and then the started game does only recognize EGA. I would love to use qm3 on my A2286/6 with ET4000.

D3D was never good on V3 with SW-RogueSquadron. If you want to play Rogue with V3 on glide, you need to upgrade to the latest version, then it will be OK. Otherwise you should use a V1/V2 or a V2-sli.

Are these games archived somewhere? It's really hard to find them...I found the tandy-version of F-16 Falcon and it's great. It's a real standalone version with sperate files for the tandy. (not only the executable is tandy). Because there is limited space either on hdd or floppy I always try to …

My V2-SLI Win95b Celeron 433 has some strange slowdowns when playing 800x600 or 1024x768. In Glide there are no slowdowns in hires visable, I'll have check this out against the voodoo3 PCI in that same machine. Perhaps it's an issue of WIn95b? but I don't think so. Im not sure but I have not noticed …

I tested the original QM V.1.2 and QM3, both have graphical glitches on my ET4000/1MB. If I switch to EGA "vmode ega" everything is fine though, but in VGA there lot's of glitches visable. Any idea from what that is? (286/8). Thx Doc
