Yeah, I think I will keep this build as my original in 1993 which was a 486dx-33 I want to relive the performance differences with high speed 486 CPU’s. Also I only had 4mb of ram so I want to relive that too and see if I could have fine tuned the settings better For better DOS game play. Do you …

Yes, I know it's possible to have two cards, I even had such a setup once, but I wasn't too happy with that: - extra slot needed - additional external cable The daughterboard takes up so much space that the neighboring slot basically becomes useless. Not sure what you mean but I just line-out my …

Not fully understand your proposition. You start by explaining the lack of Sound Blaster compatibility on the Ultrasound and then.... a new kind of daughterboard, which does what? Add Sound Blaster functionality to a GUS classic? If you're looking for Sound Blaster support when a GUS classic …

All jumpers, connectors and whatnot line up. @pano69: can we have a bios dump? Maybe we can find out something for this KDN1401 marking. I missed your comment re. KDN1401 marking originally. The board seems to come in two main flavors of clock generators. Either with KDN-1401/KDN-1402C or the …

Okay, after some more fiddling, I got the board working. Pretty sure I booted it a year ago or so I knew it "could" work. First I tried different memory (30pin SIMMS instead of the 72pin 8MB FPM), no juice but after I changed the CPU from an Intel DX 33 to an AMD 40, voila, it came to life. No idea …

So, I finally had some time to hook up this board again to get a BIOS dump (sorry for the delay @evasive), however, during POST it hangs on "Wait....." with POST code A1 which according to this page [1] is "Check for external cache" (or some variant of it).

I've been enjoying mod master immensely on my 286, but a bunch of modules cause it to produce text artifacts on screen (they tend to show up as certain - don't know which - instruments are played). If you let him know which modules causes the issues (i.e. either attach or link to and preferably …

Bur the bios can be used to identify the board 😅 The post string is 30-0100-ZZ1277-00101111-050591-SCAMPSX 1277 is apparently "Trangg Bow"'s id Is it "Trangg Bow" or "Tarng Bow", or did you both spell it wrong? :) https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php …

BIOS needs to support it since it is some Pentium II core inside. Have two boards and one overdrive but cannot test them since it is lacking its stock cooler. Still need to find some replacement or another way for cooling before testing. I doubt that it will work on any of them since both BIOS …
