Re: Pentium 166MMX tower of power

OK lucky I asked, I'll check out the other suggested models thanks guys. @MMaximus - your build sounds very similar, is there a thread about it around here somewhere? This P166 is the machine I dreamed of circa 1995 when I was finishing high school. I was still getting by with my 486DX2 66, but …

Re: Pentium 166MMX tower of power

Well, passive mixers are dead simple, and even actively buffered mixers are pretty straight forward. You just need a bipolar DC supply, ganged logarithmic pots, some op-amps and some passives. Might be a fun project to build? Yeah I probably won't muster the enthusiasm to build one, but I was …

Re: Pentium 166MMX tower of power

I could be accused of going overboard with the sound hardware in this machine but I recently picked up a Roland SCC-1, and it’d be a crime to let it sit around doing nothing. This P166 is my go-to for General Midi and it did originally have an SCC-1 in it, but I’d bought that card fully boxed from a …

Another dumb question... What if it's a software thing? I'm not sure if you removed all traces of your SB16 before installing the other cards, but its possible that the awe software is looking for some rather simple software queues... Like the existence of certain autoexec or config. sys lines ( …

Re: Using an AWE Upgrade (Goldfinch) to emulate an MPU-401 with a non-Creative sound card

Yes it's a good idea and might get it working, but at the end of the day - even if I could get the resources thing sorted out - I wouldn't be happy having a whole extra sound card sitting in my already cramped case just for the purposes of trickery. The SB16 I'm using currently is actually a very …

Using an AWE Upgrade (Goldfinch) to emulate an MPU-401 with a non-Creative sound card

The answer to this question is probably “no”, or more likely perhaps “nobody cares, haven’t you got something better to do?” I use a CT1920 Goldfinch in combination with a SB16 (CT2290) from within Windows 95, and the AWE Util software allows me to tick a box to “Emulate MPU-401 on this device”. …
