You're welcome. It's kinda sad that there aren't any better pictures online. Don't forget about this one from the first link. It looks like it is from either the top of bottom skinny edge of the box. Filename Turtle Beach2.jpg File size 23.87 KiB Views 372 views

IF you really want to convert them.. maybe take stuff from a couple of dead AT power supplies? As for me, I don't trust old AT power supplies one bit. It is much easier and cheap to just use newer ATX power supplies with an ATX to AT adapter... and you can get them with -5v added if need be. You not …

Was there even a box with graphics on it? I certainly can't find a picture of anything other than the card itself even from magazine scans of that time period. Edit... found some really small/crappy pictures of part of the box: https://recording.de/threads/turtle-beach-systems-multisound-steinberg- …

Basically, for games that were written to take advantage of the Dual OPL2. it is better to have the SB Pro 1.0. For games that were programmed for the OPL3, it is better to have something with an OPL3 chip. See here for some more detailed info. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=50222 …

I will be receiving a Jazz Multimedia Jazz Jakarta PCI vga/mpeg decoder card in a few days. I was able to find the latest drivers after a bit of searching but no manual or anything else. I am wondering if anybody else here has one and maybe has the manual or is able to dump the EPROM?

AFAIK just the 1.13GHz. The story goes Intel tried to match (actually, even slightly outdo) AMD Athlon clock world-first, but their CPU fell flat on it's face when the various benchmarking sites noticed it's unstable. Intel recalled most of the stock. This is correct. It was just the 1.13Ghz …

Well, you could get a slotket... or you could send that back for a refund and get a Slot 1 CPU. Looking stuff up, it looks like people were able to use that board all the way up the the 153Mhz fsb setting with the BIOS that added support for the higher bus speeds. Here is a 1Ghz Slot 1 for $29 …

That is a socket 370 CPU. So yeah, they sent you the wrong thing. How much was that on Newegg? Why not get a used one off of eBay? What motherboard do you have?

Haven't read through the whole thread. But what is absolutely amazing to me is that nobody dared to use the dead ROM space, but instead opt to include the MDA/MGA area of B000-B7FF. The latter I never considered safe back then, as there exist[ed] some software which probed for MDA by writing into …

A bunch of the old Sony Vaio Pentium III laptops have a Yamaha YMF744 soundcard built it. They also have the PC-PCI/SBLink port wired up so you get full DOS support. Precisely.

ME doesn't have a real DOS mode without hacks.. and those are not what I would call stable. For a Windows only build it is fine though.
