I tried a CT4170 in a newer Pentium1 (75Mhz) If I put the card in and do not load "ctcm" and do not start "ctcu" and do not run "setblaster", the card is recognized and works very will with e.g. "VECTORDEMO". If I load "ctcm" or the blastervariable at autoexec.bat I get errors/freezes in the …

You could try the Intel PnP Manager Software, this one should work with Soundblaster too and requieres no 386 CPU.

I assume you have tested everything in your spare Mainboard. So it looks like your Mainboard is busted. So next step would be to hook up a logic analyzer... Did you measure the Resistance of 5V to GND and 12V to GND ? On the Mainboard ? Could be that some Capacitor failed. https://en.wikipedia.org/ …

I recommend using a Nullmodem Cable for transfering Data. (10kb/s) I use a pl2303 USB to Serial Converter and the Nullmodem Cable to Transfer Data between my 386/286 and DOSBox on my AMD APU Rig running Linux/Windows 8. If you use the Pentium 200MMX as Host a Laplink LPT Cable would do it too. (100- …

1.) & 2.) You can not expect the same Tracking quality you will get from a PS/2 Mouse. There is always loose.. maybe in Future everything will run with the logitech driver at 2400 baud. Currently only Basic MS Mouse is supported with 1200 Bauds. It currently depends hardly on the used Mouse. Some …

Not needed, i get 5V directly from my Keyboard Jack on the Laptop. The Diode would drop some Voltage and Stop the Mouse from Working. if the 7805 is in Place you need at least ~6.5V Input Power. For simplicity i choose this solution, i startet working on a second Version with SMD Parts, running with …

there is no reason to use a usb mouse at all, ps/2 is still on new mainboards, so you can expect that ps/2 mouses will still there in 2025.
