Nobody of you I guess heard how the Gravis part of this preliminary sound card sounds (it uses a different version of the interwave chip from the one the genuine GUS used) but you are ready to pay and in advance just judging from the pictures you saw...Are you such great electronics experts? Or …

Hi, I managed to track down the 5,25" floppy disk (1987/1988) backup a bit sooner than I had expected... So here it is, the G7 Utility Program (v4.2) disk that came with the computer. I'm not sure how it'll run on faster computers but I remember the (graphic) demo ran nicely on XT in 4.77/10 MHz …

No problem then, I'll dig it up and post a link here. 😀 I'm sure I also have the manual to that card (on paper) so I'll scan it to PDF and add that too. I think I'll get around to it coming weekend.

I realize I'm very late to the party but.... I was just looking for more information on this particular card (as I own one in my old XT) and I happen to have the original system disk (which even has a graphical demo or slideshows on it, which I remember from 30 years ago). If anyone here is still …

Please read the first post :) I did read the first post, I know you're currently not taking on any new orders or even backers.. just enthusiastically expressing my support for all of your efforts. :-) Also read your other recent post about hating the logistics and such.

Late to the party but also declaring interest to having one or more of these (whichever makes it easier). Happy to contribute or sponsor the development of yet another great hardware project. 😀

I've installed the MQ card today together with a Creative Labs SoundBlaster AWE64 PnP (model CT4500) and managed to get them working together nicely. To get them to play together, I just needed to reconfigure the SB AWE64 to a different port as it also defaults at port 330 obviously, so I relocated …

That's an interesting perspective. I've never had a problem with a fast CD-ROM drive dying on me due to continually spinning up an down. I guess it also depends on the brand/model. How are they useless for retro PC's? I mean, Windows game PC's can be considered retro too and that's the era from …

Sorry for the late reply, all.. Wasn't actually looking to trade (or at least in the sense of making a profit here). Just having spare ones lying around now which too me is a bit of a waste, knowing that there'll be folk here to be found that would be happy to get replacement ones. I've actually did …

Hi everyone, I came across a stack of original IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drives from an old storage location because I needed a couple of spare ones for retro PC's and could not find them online selling new anywhere and prefer the those with an original IDE interface over an IDE-SATA adapter. Now I have a …

At least they still have the original packaging, that's a feat in its own right. ;-) I guess the price is justified when you used to own one and want to simply re-create that original feeling that no emulator can, regardless of how good it gets. There's also just something that goes with the ' …

Great news Keropi! A Yamaha DB50-XG arrived this week so aside from hooking it up to my MT-32, I'll happily test that board with this card and report the results if anyone's interested... If all goes well these are going to be some thrilling holidays! ;-) - Rick (I've decided to register at Vogons …
