Global Win were the school of brute force cooling back in the day. The VOS32 and FOP38 for slot and socket applications respectively.

You have to have something on your network which is running the right programs. It can be a Windows PC, a Linux computer, a sufficient flexible wireless router, etc. If you want to use Windows, look up how to set up DHCP and TFTP on a Windows computer. The remainder can be accomplished by following …

Well, it's not Windows. PXE is a boot environment like El Torito for optical disks. PXELINUX is a set of tools and a configuration syntax which allows you to create a flexible PXE environment. It uses standardized services to operate, so you can use almost anything network enabled to deliver the …

That's fine. PXELINUX is just an overlay on DHCPd / TFTPd which allows you to boot stuff. You can run all the server processes on Windows. Or you can do what I sometimes do and serve all the necessary stuff off your router.

I PXE boot DOS images all the time. It would require some repacking, but I don't see a reason this couldn't be done.

Can you record the same MIDI sequence using Fluidsynth and Bassmidi with the same soundfont? It'd be good to compare.

I see what you were getting at. What PCBONEZ said, plus ATX to AT adapters often use the latching switch to close PS_ON to ground. * For bonus marks, show how you could build a rising and falling edge detector circuit to use the standard AT switch to feed into the south bridge PS_ON latch.

/\ That doesn't have an OPL chip, so it uses Crystal's subpar OPL clone. For the DreamBlaster S1 any cheap YMF-71x card should do fine, as it is not a full sized daughterboard. I understand the deficiency. Again, I use my Crystal based card exclusively for the MIDI interface. If I knew where to get …

Any RTL8139 card will work with everything back to the stone age and costs less than a bad bowl of borscht. 3Com and Intel 10/100 cards are also common and very compatible, sometimes with PXE boot roms into the bargain. D-Link tends to relabel off the shelf chips as their own and pretend they're …

Woo hoo! I recommend you keep your eyes open for another really cheap sound card with a daughterboard header. You may not mind it too much right now, but some games (Hexen, for example) sound nasty in places because of stuck notes. If you can find a really cheap Crystal Semiconductor card, it may be …
