I have similar board: 486/5x86 SBC and can dump bios (based on the same ALI chipset)

Recently I bought original SIMCONN module. I wonder why I see around that straight vertical or angle socket is used (instead aligned horizontally with pcb to save space) ? I replaced it immediately in my module.

Which one Wavjammer is better? 😀 The dongle from the right side is slightly better made I think. Product number (of dongle) is lower. I will have for exchange the one card if someone will need it.

IBM 5161 - Extender/Receiver card variations
Posted on 2020-12-30, 13:52
Recently I bought 5161 expansion unit. It comes with Driver card and IBM receiver card. I couldnt find info about this Driver card but it seems that is not compatible with IBM receiver card. Fortunately earlier I bought another Recv/Ext card based on ribbon tape and works properly.
More than 9 menuitems in config.sys

Is possible to bypass 9 menu items limit? I have old IBM laptop and create various configurations (pcmcia soundcards, external cd, floppy etc). Max 9 menu items is too low value for me...

Now I have problems with WJSSENAB. It mostly give continous noise in output (but not always). Then I have to unload driver and initialize again (often few times).
Re: PCMCIA Sound Cards

I see now. If you wish then can send older drivers (they are not probably published on the web) with wavjammr.sys initialize. // wjssenab is great. When loading with only socket service (instead wavjammer.sys/exe) then have enough conventional memory for running Wolf3d. Music and effects works out …
