Hi there. I've an IBM PC 300GL computer which has an internal ESS ES1930S audio card. It has Windows 98SE, also I've ESS DOS drivers installed. When Windows starts, while loading DOS audio drivers, I see that IRQ of audio changes from time to time. I see IRQ sometimes set as 9, sometimes 10, …

Prince of Persia and some other games from 1990-91 only work with sound on IRQ 7, and that's likely the explanation for your results. They may or may not require SET BLASTER, but it can't hurt. Do not load any drivers! On XP, it's also necessary to disable the built-in SB emulation, which is fixed …

If someone wants the fully-finished version and doesn't mind shipping charges I can ship the ~20 I have assembled and tested as well. As for fully assembled boards, while I have a bunch here that are virtually ready to go I just haven't found a way to ship them for anything resembling reasonable …

I am definitely interested in a few bunches of them, Half-Saint. PM'd.

Seob, I have the exactly same situation, got a mint IBM PS/2 Model 30 286, harddiskless.. Trying to order lo-tech's XT-CF controller. But before I do so, I wonder what have you done later? 😀 I'd love to hear the complete story. Best.

I made an ISA Soundcard Overview that might be suitable to add to this stickified topic. It is pretty big and technical. Also it is not yet complete. Data obtained from many datasheets, internet articles and pictures as well as some actual soundcards. Suggestions and Corrections are welcome. Really …
