Thank you! I posted my MEM above. I have to leave to go to someone's house, but I'll have my phone with me and will check the thread, and I will play with settings when I get back! It looks like I just need to figure out how to load SMARTDRV into upper memory. Why are you specifying a minimum size …

Posting your config.sys and autoexec.bat might be helpful . Personally, I have never needed to use more than I=B000-B7FF to get 620KB+ of free conventional memory, either with EMM386.exe or UMBPCI. You may well be loading more drivers than I am, however . EDIT : Also, I have never had a Tabor (but …

I would suggest buying a DB15MIDI from Serdashop and using a simple DIN5 MIDI cable to hook the PC up with the hat. This way you can hook it up to another MIDI device simultaneously as well. https://www.serdashop.com/DB15MIDI I can not stress how much I love this product enough. I could not agree …

For example, I have 1080p and 4K LCD monitors but I'm curious about 4:3 LCDs such as the Dell 2007FPb, etc. Can anybody explain the benefits (besides the aspect ratio) of using a dedicated LCD monitor?

Oregon Trail with the year 2005 should have worked. It stalls on Quicktime install. Which means it is kind of primitive. You don't use Quicktime for your cut scenes, you use DirectShow.
