The "M351" print on the BIOS ROM chip reminds me of PCChips, though Google gives me almost nothing about it.
Re: VCS - A capture utility for certain Datapath capture cards

This country's gone into a recession and I'm already out of a job for 2 years, so the paid hosting will probably be down for a while. I still own the domain so the service will resume later on. The next release(s) on GitHub will likely include the binary distribution as a download, so keep an eye …

Sorry for bumping the post, but your website is down and now I can't download pre-compiled binary distribution. I don't want to go through all the hassle building the software myself, but if you can't recover the website, I'll try it. Anyway thanks for your outstanding work!
Floppy Drive on Windows 10
Posted on 2020-03-26, 14:38
It works, but I found a rather annoying problem. Windows 10 always tries to write "System Volume Information" to floppy disk and it takes large spaces (for a 1.44M floppy, anything is huge!). How can I stop the stupid Windows 10 from doing this?
Re: ESS Solo-1 and its invisible game port
Posted on 2020-03-24, 10:57
Can I ask you where did you find the latest driver? I found the file name on archive.org and searched them on Google. Well, it actually works, I tried Doom II and Quake, though the music in Doom II sounded OK but... I don't know, slower than what I remember? Yes, AudioPCI and SBLive will play FM …

My Labway Solo-1 ( this one ) doesn't have gameport device in device manager, either, though external wavetable device is present in audio settings. I don't have any joystick device to test with, however. I used official latest 3055 driver for Windows XP. Driver on Phil's website is the official …
Weird problem with MSI 815EPT Pro
Posted on 2020-03-19, 05:50
First I tested this motherboard with my Leadtek GeForce4 Ti 4200, and it booted normally. After several reboots, the machine never booted up again. I swapped the graphics card with a Radeon 9550 and it worked again. But at this time if I use any NVIDIA graphics card it won't boot. It would only …

The Serpent Rider wrote on 2020-03-18, 20:43: Everything SB-Link does can be done in software. At least when it comes to 440BX platform. So it's kinda redundant. I'd like to test AWE64D, which is only DOS-compatible when using SB-Link.
How to install SB-Link header on Asus P3B-F
Posted on 2020-03-18, 13:14
The P3B-F v1.04 is the only 440BX motherboard I have. I'd like to use it as a sound card test platform, so I need to install SB-Link header. It seems that apart from 5-pin header, some resistors or capacitors are also needed. So, how can I install SB-Link header and related components on this …

They are still available straight from Creative Labs. Looks like it uses the same drivers/config/utilities as the ISA cards. I indeed went to Creative website and found exactly the same drivers as AWE64 ISA. However, I also found conflict statement on Wikipedia : AWE64 PCI was later followed by the …

AWE64D DOS driver
Posted on 2020-03-14, 12:46
I've got an AWE64D CT4655 card on my hand recently. However, I could only find driver for Windows 9x and Windows 2000. It would be greatly appreciated if someone can provide DOS driver for this card.

After some time collecting various drivers, I've figured out the driver compatibility of different versions of AudioPCI. AudioPCI Driver Matrix.png However, I don't know whether Ensoniq ES1371 DOS drivers can be used with CT5880 cards (like CT4750). I hope someone can test it. Here are drivers for …

Filename IMG_20200222_154156.jpg File size 1.66 MiB Views 817 views I got this card several days ago... but I can't test it now. It does have a better position of gameport though. I'll solder jumpers for enabling/disabling amplifier. Would you recommend this card over OPL3-SAx?
Re: Advice on a reliable Windows 98 setup

Personally I'm pretty happy with what I got in my signature. FIC was invested by VIA in some way, so they made the best use of VIA chipsets, in this case, MVP3 chipsets. Except one minor problem, that my DVD-RW drive didn't want to work with DMA enabled, my experience of this setup is very positive. …

Different Versions of Ensoniq AudioPCI
Posted on 2020-02-23, 02:31
Recently I'm digging into various AudioPCI cards but realize that the drivers for different models of them are different. The drivers on vogonsdrivers.com are all for ES1371/ES1373 but no ES1370 or EV1938. So I downloaded many drivers for different operating systems and looked for device IDs and …

Finally finished the build. I spent a lot of time figuring out dual sound card setup, PnP configuration, drivers and MS-DOS mode. There's still a small problem: Windows wants AU8830 SB Pro Emulation to use I/O port 388h and doesn't allow me to change, however this address should be reserved for SB16 …
