Same experience. I had nothing but trouble with a Sil3112 and ended up buying a Promise SATA150 and everything has been so easy and stable.

The PCMIDI as an addon board is super sexy, looks awesome! Any hint on a potential preorder date Leo? I wasn't joking, I'm really preparing a new build for this card 🤣

Lucky you! I can't wait to (hopefully) grab one. I have a new build coming along that I want to do just for it 😉

Ok I'll bite. Welcome to Vogons - not a great start, as you posted in the wrong Forum :) "This forum is for running old windows games on NEW (supported) versions of Windows" A better choice would've been Marvin\Software. Now the error message means you probably have a NTFS partition still on the …

Yep that's how I remember them as well, going for the source on wiki they link this page: https://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?sid=10846 Where the CT4740 is indeed labelled "Sound Blaster 16 PCI", but that's the only one. At least the name was used and the wiki article is not *completely …

if thats the case, that could be a lot of the issue there lol. When I googled the model number, I got SB16 as a result One very simple giveaway: your card is PCI and there are no PCI SB16. EDIT: oh, so these morons did call it the Sound Blaster 16 PCI... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster_ …

Yep, unfortunately Babasha is right, what you got is a rebranded Ensoniq AudioPCI after Creative purchased them :( https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/Ensoniq#AudioPCI https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=26252 The bad news is, there's no dedicated FM chip, it's emulated and it sounds like crap. …
Re: Suprised by how good the AWE64 is, sc-55 upgrade worth it?

If you have the hardware it would be a pity not to try it and make up your own mind 😀 it's at least half the fun!
Re: Have you opened your SC-55 to check the battery inside?
Posted on 2022-04-25, 19:55
Why they didn't use battery holders is beyond me. Like the battery would last forever. Or maybe they figured it would last long enough before the produce was EOL ;) That's exactly what I thought when I opened it, after being spoiled by Roland's devices all having a nice battery holder. Came to the …

yeah...why i said "This is the kind of battery I found in my MU80's, not exactly those obviously but similar style" I wanted to share what the assembly looked like, not the exact battery type. I googled around but couldn't find it, so share some random picture of a similar assembly. So yeah my MU80 …
Re: Have you opened your SC-55 to check the battery inside?

yup so that's exactly the same as both my MU80, and once removed, devices would not turn on anymore.
Re: Have you opened your SC-55 to check the battery inside?
Posted on 2022-04-25, 18:44
That's interesting. My MU50 works fine without a battery. Interesting indeed as I thought they'd be pretty much the same inside. This is the kind of battery I found in my MU80's, not exactly those obviously but similar style: https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1CRFuhSzqK1RjSZFLq6An2XXa8/2Pcs-3V-CR1220- …
Re: Have you opened your SC-55 to check the battery inside?
Posted on 2022-04-25, 15:58
Both my MU80 had a soldered battery. I removed it and the unit wouldn't turn on at all, so the battery is part of the circuit and the answer to your question is unfortunately most probably no for the TG300 I suppose. I had a few spare battery holders from another project so soldered that instead and …

Yup, I've had those dreaded initialization issues on faster machines, but not on my 486 and I'm not using SoftMPU. Not sure why your experience is different

mmh yep, I really don't know what Sierra games you are talking about @red_avatar. I own about all of them and play them regularly on a dx2-66. I'm probably running most if not all of NRS timing fixes I'll grant you that, but I don't see why you wouldn't, and even speed-sensitive arcade sequences are …

damn the emotional rollecoaster was strong in this thread, between horror and good laugh! At this point you may as well desolder the socket and put a fresh one on there...

Wow good job figuring out the chips switch and fixing it! Great stuff 😁 All my hardware is up and running now and setup was a non-issue once the card was fixed. What a relief... You bet! Your issues were so weird...
