On another note: Does this one crash modm on your system also? https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view … eid&query=74373 b24 and b19 went down with UMB or DOS MEM corrupted on two different 486DX systems just now. Dosbox hangs on loading, without any error message.

Also, the .CFG file may be different, you need to remove it when you move from b19 to b24 Darn, I knew about that and really thought we did it (while trying to figure out an issue with unisound and this ESS) - but on explicitly testing it again now, it instantly fixed the issue. So, please: cancel …

b24 also seems to have a regression with ESS1868F (ESS Audiodrive). Initialized with its own driver (and escfg), it works nicely under b19 - but starting b24, it isn't detected anymore as a (Soundblaster) compatible card. Going back to b19 right afterwards, it still works there.

Been using unisound successfully for quite a while now.

Bought this recently for the processor and adapter that came with it, not for the card itself. Does anyone have an idea which system this card might have come from? I already went through lots of DELL, HP and Compaq baords on stason, elhvb and others, but found nothing where it could fit. Looking …

I've also tested it now with an original PnP in the same and also in a different system with a completely different setup (first one being a 486DX2-66, the second one a PII-266, albeit with caching disabled since it otherwise throws the well know runtime error 200): modmgt behaves the same …

Here is "MODMGT" for your GUS Test. I just tried it: it starts up in regular mode and works fine. When I check 'Interwave', it becomes silent. When I do uncheck it again, it plays fine again. Wish I could provide you some easy remote access to this system, but sadly there is no networked KVM here, …

Sadly, no change for me. Just tried v24 (with interwave checked and also unchecked) and it plays in total silence whereas replacing it with v22 plays it again nicely right away.

I just tried this latest version with the GUS PnP clone- sadly I wasn't able to make it output any sound so far, with or without the interwave checked. The player is behaving like always and showing track progress, but no sound coming out of it (like the output was muted). E.g. ST3 is still working …

Oh, and one more thing: you can't use the TL866II plus's ICSP port to program the ATTINY2313A on board, mine only knows it through the ZIF socket, so you need a 20 pin SOIC to DIP adapter for it (and only solder it afterwards). Or, of course, the AVRISP mk2 and ATMEL studio, which is what I ended up …

Would I be correct to assume that 2-Layer and 1.6mm thickness would be enough? Do you remember the specs of the board you ordered? Indeed, two layer and 1.6mm are fine.
