I have a card on the list which appears no one appears to own. Bluepoint Corporation Sound FX Classic 3000. I've only tested it slightly but will give it a good try when i get some time.

Finally managed to add a SC-55 to the midi tower. Tested it out and it works great, then instantly opened it up and removed the battery. Battery was a bit crusty but hadn't leaked anywhere.

I have a work in progress build very similar to yours. If you add in ACPI clock skipping you can get down to 8088 speeds and also hit the 486 reference points. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1usQPR4aHiHYU-oLLNqefLv-zW5-nBRxWqkrWbcvbPaw/edit?usp=sharing On my slot 1 machine I also find that …

I actually picked the C3 because of its ability to slow down with fine adjustments. This machine will be used to play a good majority of DOS games and Win9x Games. With the CPU clocked at 1.4ghz this give a speedsys equivalent of a 800mhz Athlon. For the games which are more demanding or want to run …

I thought I would share with a rig I've been working on for a good while now. It is at a stage now that I'm happy with it and covers a good range of games. I've still to map all the speeds available on this and is something I plan to carry out in the very near future. I've seen this build done a few …

I got it going in the end and its a strange one. Originally when I was trying to install the card I was selecting a Music Quest Clone. IRQ 2 was not actually selectable. I turned ACPI off but still couldn't get it going. Also I was having issues with my other cards after turning off ACPI. Anyways I …

I recently picked up one of these. I have an X2 attached to it and it works great in DOS and is nice and silent. I'm having issues getting it to work in Win98. I have it jumpered 330 2/9. What device am I trying to install it as? I've tried installing it as a Microsoft MPU 401 Compatible and I also …

Hey. I used to have this exact case back in the 90s. Don't suppose you have any details on the case at all? Would love to get another one of these. Loved how the LED's were in the slots! I don't really have any details about who manufactured it unfortunately. I bought it off ebay as new in box. Its …

I don't own this board unfortunately. I just came across it while browsing and thought of this thread. I've pointed B24Fox in the right direction.

I picked up a Voodoo 3500 TV a few weeks back for £15. It was listed as a Samsung TV card but I instantly recognised the photo so snapped it up.

Picked up this unusual sound card recently. Its a Bluepoint Corporation Sound FX 3000. It has some daughterboard on it which handles midi. It claims to do GS and MT32. I tried Sam N Max in MT32 and it didn't sound too bad. GM sounds pretty primitive and some of the instruments are pretty week. Non …

This is the board I mentioned earlier. I actually run it pretty much fully loaded, running at 140mhz fsb. It runs great. Sound cards work fine. Its been the most easiest to work with motherboard, in regards to it just working. I guess its just finding boards that work well. The Abit BX133 is also a …
