Went to e-waste yard and got this interesting 486. It works, only HDD and Dallas (of course) are gone. It has SB2.0 and Sony CD-ROM with Sony proprietary bus. The only ordinary thing inside is 512kb Trident VGA... I am looking for cache and CMS upgrade now 🙂

Doom sounds great. Distorted guitars are perfectly dirty and ride cymbal is better than on Yamaha MU-80 🙂

DLCs for DS3 are... brutal. The only boss I managed to kill without co-op help was Gravetender. Other ones are just insane. I've beaten almost all "basic" bosses alone. I only summoned NPCs few times. Bosses like Demon Princes, Frieda or Gael was unbeatable for me :-( Same for me! I was able to …

Dark Souls III Finished! I had put this game off for a long time because I was getting frustrated fighting one of the bosses... but I gave it a shot tonight and was able to take him down on my third attempt. It turns out he was the second-to-last boss and the final boss was a bit of a pushover, so …

Just a tiny remark - Amiga has been always MIDI capable. Only thing needed is serial to MIDI cable (similar to DB15 to MIDI). Difference is, nobody gives a damn about MIDI on Amiga...

I did not have time for hobbies for more than two weeks so I tested MU15 only on modern PC with Roland UM ONE (USB to MIDI) and with MIDI OUT of Audigy 2 Platinum EX. I played MID files with Falcosoft MIDI Player and everything was great. Meanwhile I've got also Boss dr. Synth DS-300 and today I've …

Boss Dr. Synth DS-330 arrived today. I am not sure what should I think about it. My first quick test (RoA: Star Trail, of course) wasn't very successful because some sounds are just missing (scream in Blutzinnen/Blood Peaks, heartbeat in final dungeon, drums in Dragon theme...). There is no problem …

Picked up a very cheap boxed Boss DR-330 "Dr.Synth" midi module with manual today. Battery had started to leak but I removed it and there is no damage. Unit works great Any chance you bought it from Austria? Along with Roland keys? No, I bought this off UK eBay. I was overran by somebody few days …
