Wow, 1GB flash for sounds for old DOS games.... Time to whip out the old Dream 5000 SDK and start constructing some fine sounding banks, I guess? 😁 Good work.

I recommend going with the DDO (Direct Drive Overlay) route and can wholeheartedly recommend EZ-Drive v9.09w It isnt always necessary to go the XT-IDE route if the only problem is the size of the drive in question. Thanks for the idea, however it is my understanding that this overlay software will …

Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro. The breakout box is handy to test whatever is on the table at the given moment, even in 2020. The quality of conversion is still top notch, even in 2020.

Still looking for the PCI version of the Detonator 3.68. I checked all the archives I have of that version and they all only have AGP folders.

Re: 486 laptop to suggest to look for with soundcard onboard not on pcmcia
Posted on 2020-06-11, 12:58
IIRC the list of laptops in he 486-range that actually had integrated audio is very very short. There is a reason why Serdaco's newly made LPT sound devices are enjoying such high popularity. Sound devices didn't appear to be among the normal loadout until early Pentium-based laptops, which then …

In that case I am missing the 3.68 PCI version of the driver. If anyone could upload/attach it, that would be splendid.

I would also be interested as to how the 3.68 driver fares in this scenario. Not only wrt performance, but also wrt to whether I remembered that correctly that this is the one with the best perf, and whether it works with the 3.68AGP at all. I remember having used that one on a PII-300 with W98 and …

I remember making performance benchmarks with a TNT2M64 PCI and I used 3.68, and this is the only 3.68 driver I can find in my archive, so I must have used this one. That - or my memory is having a severe durr.

Posted on 2020-06-11, 11:23
If I recall correctly, the distinction between PCI and AGP and the resulting drivers being packed separately for each interface type was only up to version 3.37 or smth. From version 3.68 onwards, the drivers were for both AGP and PCI (although still labelled AGP for a time). I had no problems …

Re: Wrestling with PCI video cards
Posted on 2020-03-26, 12:51
If memory serves, the fast and reliable DOS compatibility of NVidia cards lasted until and including the FX series. So, if you aim for a higher up PCI variety of a NVidia card (example 2MX400, 4MX440, MX4000 or 5200,) they should have you covered with regards to DOS compatibility. the Savage cards - …

Eh, especially when running it at 2x interpreted as 6x (6x66), the AMD K6/2-400 Chomper Extended will not exceed "luke warm" temps. I ran it with a PMMX cooler without a fan attached and it was fine. After adding a fan the passive heatsink remained cold.
