For the first video, the PAS is a great card, but the PAS16 isn't completely compatible with it. For the second video, the Jazz16 chipset is really nice, but it isn't completely compatible with the PAS16. Okay, I have 3 cards. 1) Pas 16 2) MV 16 Pro 3) MV 16 ISA cards. What is the best type of …

I think I might stuff my Terratec audio drives in it and I have some motherboards. I have a Asus Nvidia SLI mobo with Core-2-Quad CPU or I could put an 1155 i5-3470 CPU and Mobo in it. What do you think? I can go Win2000 or XP ?

2910 is non-PnP, 2950 is full-PnP. Plug and Play = setting Address, IRQ, and DMA via software. Non-PNP = settings via jumpers. No difference in sound quality. Both have the hanging note bug. Both have clicking DMA bug. The CT2910 has an YMF289 OPL3 so it is slightly preferable. The CT29xx series is …

I purchased an IBM PS/2 thinking I could restore it. The outside is nice , not a scratch on it. So I thought it was hardly used. However when I opened it, The battery had burst and spilled acid all over the motherboard and corroded the chips and circuit board. So it is just siting in my garage now. …

Nice ! I was going to buy one of those and I am glad I did not. I really don't care for the IBM Bios. I prefer something more customizable like the Award or Phoenix bios. I did purchase a NEWER Aptiva however. With an AMD K6 333mhz CPU which I replaced with a Pentium 233mhz CPU. The motherboard has …

Yes, It turns out all the Terratec cards I want to use are PCI so I can go with 1155 i5-3470 build and an SSD. The problem I have is the drivers and programs for the terratec cards only run under Win98/2000 and some on XP.

Is it a snail or some type of horn instrument ? I could put my Terratec sound cards into it and turn it into an Terratec Audio Creation studio ? I could fit it with internal speakers with woofer. Or just turn it into a mail box. Or I could fit it with Internal speakers and use it as a Music box.
