Maybe this would fit more in a history subforum? I think the posts would be more interesting if they were citations of the interesting bits, with a link to the full text.

THe board looks very similar to this one: https://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/E/EVEREX-SYSTEMS-INC-386-AGI-386-20-EV-1830B.html The CPU and NPU are slightly different. But I would say they all are derived from the same original design. There are some more like this on stason.org. You might …

nice! figured that as software suits 99% of the populations needs something like this would never see the light of day. Look forward to this as my IDE optical drive stockpile is getting low I think the CDs might be also a problem. I like to replace physical media with solutions like this for …

Re: Youtube Content ID false positives

Yup, the matching content is some Baby CD -- where I hope they don't play the Doom soundtrack! -- and three other totally unrelated music titles. It's definitely a false positive. 😀

But Adlib Tracker II is for faster systems anyway, right? Those probably have lots of expanded memory. At least on my 386 AT2 is unusably slow. 😁

Youtube Content ID false positives
Posted on 2019-07-29, 20:17
My really tiny 2nd youtube channel , where I put mostly game recordings, got four content ID matches/copyright notices. And the best thing is: they are all on two videos of Doom Shareware 1.9 for DOS. And of course the matches are totally inaccurate. I don't make any money off of Youtube, but I can …
Re: Hulu is adapting Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy series
Posted on 2019-07-29, 18:47
I liked the movie, found the TV series adequate, LOVED the (German) radioplay, and also loved the books (1-3 of course). I am more surprised that Hulu still exists. It has virtually no presence here in Germany. Let's see how this series turns out. Will definitely not buy another subscription only …

Wow, nice printout. There are a bunch of chinese companies offering CNC and laser cutting sheet metal that require a 3D model as input. I might ask some of them for a quote on a very small run of these. If a single bracket comes out to 5 EUR max I might order some. But the 3D printed one will have …
Re: DOSBox soundcard "emulating" the sound-bank of the Amiga, has this been done before?
Posted on 2019-07-27, 21:38
If you prefer the sound of the Amiga version of games I suggest you play them on an Amiga emulator. As mentioned before, the Amiga didn’t have a soundbank. It had four channels of PCM audio. You probably can get many Amiga game music scores as dedicated MOD tracker files on some video game music …

Re: Commodore plus/4 video issues

No. That would result only in messed up colors on modern TVs. Or maybe in some no signal message. This is definitely some broken IC. Can most certainly be repaired. Adrian Black has some nice C16/Plus4 repair videos.

Its intressenting that this card does not support billinear filtering at all Interesting just from today's point of view. It was very common with the first generation of 3D accelerators. Yes, for example the Matrox Mystique was very popular with friends at school, but I had already the Voodoo 1, …

C/MS is sometimes better in cases where the Adlib score received little love. Any obvious examples? I think there might be very few. Maybe some of the Sierra games. I will think about that and come back to this. Definitely not many examples out there. I think we might need to make an SAA1099 …

C/MS is sometimes better in cases where the Adlib score received little love. And I bet some skilled demo coders and musicians could do something awesome with it.

I don't think that it's the colorburst. Windows 3.0 most certainly doesn't interpret the colorburst in its DOS window. Also you would see NTSC color artifacts then.
