More than happy to test the card on every ISA capable system I have by the way. Just make the things already :lol

Therefore the standard configuration for RDRAM was dual channel (making it 32-bit wide, like SDR and DDR), and the minimum speed was 3.2 GB/s, as I said before. Dell sold craploads of 850 chipset systems with dual channel 600mhz RIMMS. Too many customers couldn't stomach the price for faster …
Re: MT-32 connected to AWE32 with DreamBlaster X2

An alternative to using a completely separate second card would probably be making your own back bracket with just a 3.5mm audio jack soldered onto a CD-ROM audio connector, which connects to your AWE32's AUX input header. Glad you found a setup that works for you though.

I assume it will work fine in Windows's DOS Box - with possibility of use its hardware midi as MPU401. In plain DOS probably your way to go is DSDMA - which is quite compatible. However you'll get only SBPro and OPl3 here (no MPU401). It works this way with i865 (ICH5), so probably it will work …

YMF724/744 and i810

Do the YF724/744 chipsets work with i810 in the absence of PC/PCI? I am planning to replace an FM801 card with it in Windows 98SE specifically, will I get OPL3, SBPro and MIDI out of this card?

1MB ROM in both versions I believe; 512KB RAM in Value, 4MB RAM in Gold. The soundfont dump of the rom is 512KB by the way, so I am certain that it is only 512KB. This is interesting, because every place I could find references the CT1972 to be a 1MB ROM. Perhaps it is used for more than just the …

A recap may also help, have you visually inspected the capacitors on the card? Especially the ones around the amplification circuit may have gone bad?

@clueless - I've been looking for an RPG to play on my Win98 machine and Wizardry 8 looks pretty awesome; they're all 80% off on GOG ATM too as it happens. You may want to start at Wizardry 6 and 7, although they are clunkier games for DOS.. For Windows 98 I would also suggest Might & Magic VI and …

Wow very informative guys thanks. I will just check the primary caps for voltage using a multimeter and dump it if I find any :) Make sure to set the range to something over 400vdc just in case. . Right.. I wouldn't want to destroy my $5 chinese multimeter :lol: I will be cautious though, I promise …

Mine did come with the metal bracket. I checked the image out of your replica, and it looks awesome! If possible, you should find a way to put the Adlib logo on that circuit board. Now that would be cool. Also, as far as putting a bracket on yours, I think this bracket from Mouser would do. I know …
Re: What is a quiet AT power supply ?

This is an interesting discussion. ATX PSUs almost always have exhaust fans on them, they are designed to push hot air from within out of the case. Were AT PSUs fitted with reversed fans to act as intakes for the case, to create ventilation? I don't think this is a great idea as the air pushed into …

Doom (2016). It is the most fun I had with a shooter since Doom (1993). It is also dirt cheap on the Steam sale you should all buy and play it.

It would have too much cpu overhead and knowing Win98’s usb support it would probably be very flaky as well..
