I popped in the card into my 98SE 440BX system and did the Add New Hardware search for non-PNP hardware. I was happy to see this pop up: Filename adlibgold.jpg File size 793.96 KiB Views 1071 views Haven't messed with the driver disks yet. Duke3D works with Adlib music and listening to Tyrian 2000 …

The pot and volume knob on mine seems okay. But there are four velcro strips on the back of the card! The card does look unused, however--no marks on the contacts and no screw marks at the top of the slot cover. Weird. Will test tonight.

I'll send it to you in a PM first, so you may try it. Just wanted to thank CHiLL72 publicly for his effort. Unfortunately, the code didn't work because it went with the CD-ROM accompanying the Pinnacle Pro Studio package and not the one that came with the regular Pinnacle card. This code I need …

I have a Voodoo 3 3000 that overheats after a little while and puts multicolored artifacts all over the screen. It can work for a while, though. I've never tried to attach a fan to a V3 because I didn't want to rip the heatsink off the silicon. It turns out that those brass pins securing the …

I was curious what Sisoft Sandra 99 reported, and it did seem to report an accurate speed around 850MHz: sandra1.jpg But …

Most cards fit in a standard Atari 2600-size clear box protector (some need a slightly-longer Intellivision-size). All cards in anti-static bags. Got about three bins full of loose video and sound cards. …
