Re: ESS1868 compatibility issues

Posted on 2024-04-15, 06:05

250 games? Amazing work! Just to double-check: in the cases where you've seen issues have you swapped out this card for something else (eg. a Creative Soundblaster) to confirm the issues were actually due to the ESS1868 and not something else? I once spent weeks messing around with a (far less …

Re: Pentium iii roadmap

Posted on 2024-04-14, 12:26

Consider that release date doesn't tell the whole story: - frequently there were 'paper releases' of CPUs only available to a few reviewers. Mass availability came months later sometimes many months. - on release, all these CPUs were eye-wateringly expensive and only sold in small quantities to …

Re: Looking for IBM Music Feature Card owners

I will probably build one more card for myself, that leaves me with 3 more bare PCBs and some parts in case anyone is looking to build one. Maybe I'm a bit slow, but has the design been finalized/known-good? If so, I'm definitely up for one, although looking at your Chicago location it might be …

Re: Upgrade to AWE64, or keep SB16 + Wavetable board?

Posted on 2024-04-14, 11:49

Which SB16 are we talking about here? And which AWE64? As already pointed out there are big differences between models, which could materially affect the answer to your question. In particular how bad the MIDI bugs are on them and whether the SB16 has real OPL3 or CQM That said, why "or"? You can …

Re: Drivers/Questions about ESS488

Jumpers and dipswitches might well be relevant here. Challenge is finding the settings. That FCC ID shows it's a Labway card (JV7 is the grantee code for Labway), but it isn't one of the cards on TH99 and googling it just shows this earlier Vogons thread and your VCF thread from a few weeks back ( …

Re: sound cards and music production

Friend of mine was a keyboard player in a symphonic black metal group in the late 1990s (not exactly techno, but it's still music ;) ) and he wrestled and got hopelessly frustrated with a Terratec EWS64XL which theoretically should have been able to fulfil all his MIDI and sampling needs but in …

Re: Socket 5 CPU limit?

Posted on 2024-04-07, 18:45

Thanks for the help. Glad i have some options with CPU upgrades on this board. I recently got myself a P1 133mhz (https://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Pentium/Intel-Pentium%20133%20-%20A80502133%20(A80502-133).html) and im going to try and install it into my system. Gonna upgrade later on when i find …

Re: Socket 5 CPU limit?

Posted on 2024-04-06, 20:54

I was a bit worried when I saw the "75MHz 90MHz 100MHz" as that implied you only had one (1.5x) multiplier and could only modify FSB (50/60/66MHz), but looking on you're in luck :) BF0 and BF1 (on the fourth pic, next to the socket) are literally the names for the multiplier pins for So7. That means …

Re: About to buy a Roland SC-55ST Sound Canvas

Posted on 2024-04-06, 08:46

Btw my setup has a Sound Blaster Live Drive II installed, which has MIDI IN and OUT ports... Does this mean I can connect the Roland SC-55ST directly to it ? I'm just looking for the best possible alternative to the gameport-MIDI cables, which are a bit hard to find and costly. Yes, that's exactly …
