Re: DB9 Serial to DIN-5 MIDI OUT Pinout?

If only SOFTMPU supported Parallel that would be sweet. Not sure how hard or possible it would be to add that functionality. That would only require the hardware to be made (for example a microcontroller programmed to take in bytes from parallel port according to handshake signals and send them out …

Ok, you might be able to use a MAC serial to midi box and SOFTMPU to get it working. A Midiman mini macman might work. If only SOFTMPU supported Parallel that would be sweet. Not sure how hard or possible it would be to add that functionality.

Ok, so have a few more things on the way for my project. 1. Midiman Mini Macman - 1x1 serial midi for MAC. Going to see if it will work on a PC with SOFTMPU. Just have to make or get a MAC to PC serial cable. 2. Atlona AT-HD500 PC/VGA to HDMI Scaler - to scale DOS resolutions so I can capture in …

Just found an Avermedia C127 on eBay. Yay for VGA/component and HDMI video capture for cheap. $45 shipped. Make sure it comes with a driver CD, apparently AVerMedia pulled all the old drivers. They will provide them when you contact them though. Yep, already found that out. I found a page that has …

Antex Z1/Z1e ?

Anybody here ever use or even better yet own an Antex Z1e? I was looking at some other Antex cards and noticed that the Z1/Z1e has OPL support of some kind. I would be interested in getting one of these old cards. I haven't even been able to find a picture of it. Edit: It also has a 2MB wavetable …

This looks really cool and I am going to test it (with a standard Laptop)! I looked on Ebay for a game-port-->MIDI adapter. Maybe I searched for the wrong keywords, but the only one I was able to find was this one: http://www.ebay.de/itm/281957225946 I hope it is the right one and it should also …

Try here. Looks like every single PA-2013 manual is available ftp://ftp.fic.com.tw/motherboard/manual/socket7/pa-2013/ Edit: Not seeing a specific manual for the 2.1 (PCB 2.0) version of the motherboard. From what I could find, even people who bought the board new back in the day had trouble with …

yeah I'm pretty sure the Dell card is the same as the standard Montego / Montego II. I had a Montego II Quadzilla back in the day and I have a couple of Dell ones now and the cards look the same as I remember (minus the extra bracket the Quadzilla gave me). I got one of my Dell cards because the …

Thanks a lot for this set! I believe that they are not compiled anywhere in the packages I've looked in the forum. It would be great if someone showed up with the ENG version though... Once again, thanks a lot! Ricardo You're welcome. I have been doing quite a bit of digging and downloading whole …

You could always use a super expensive PCMCIA to PCI slot adapter and then get a PCI card with a MIDI port on it. https://sewelldirect.com/pcmcia-to-pci-1-slot http://www.ebay.com/itm/Magma-1-Slot-Half-Length-PCI-Enclosure-CardBus-Interface-Cable-Power-Supply-2-/112280537550?hash=item1a247109ce:g: …

AWE32 (SB32) CT3670. It is basically an AWE64 with simm slots. So unless you already have the AWE64 upgraded, then the CT3670 is going to be a better card. You can max it out with 28MB of RAM (2x16MB) sticks from eBay for about $22. I would get a Yamaha YMF724/744/754 PCI card to go along with it …

Don't forget about the Aureal SQ2500; it's basically the reference design, although it came out after the MX300. thanks for the addition. I'll try to remember to include that next time I talk about Vortex. There is also the Dell Turtle Beach Vortex2 card. Both the Vortex1 and Vortex2 cards from …

A 16GB SSD is not going to be speedy in the first place. The smallest I even bother using is 128GB. it's significantly less slow on newer machines with newer OS, but yes you are correct that it's nowhere near as fast as a newer and larger SSD. I'm going to get something like a 1TB for my main PC …

Silicon Image PCI SATA are the 3112 and 3114, PCI-E are 3512 and 3514. I have a 3114... It's pretty darn slow with the Sandisk 16GB U100 SSD I have on it. I haven't tried the Promise TX2 or TX4 or the Adaptec ASH-1205SA which also has 98 drivers. A 16GB SSD is not going to be speedy in the first …

I'd suggest using a more DOS compatible board (like a 440bx or a Socket 7) and sourcing an IDE to SATA converter so you can connect your drive dock. P4 boards can work well for games that require maximum performance, but many games require throttling so they don't run too fast. P4s aren't as …

What did you use to create those disk images? I can't seem to find anything that will read them. Found it, MagicISO is able to open them. I have not been able to locate the English version of Disk 1 yet, but I was able to find the Italian version. Not sure if just the text files are Italian or if …

The thing about PCI to ISA converters is that they don't support DMA, so you can really only use them for music output(FM/MIDI/Wavetable). The digital sound part of the card will be nonfunctional. I even have an old PCI to ISA setup with a PCI card that goes in the computer, then the ISA card goes …
