The 8088-2 is not a clock-doubling processor. The "2" denotes the processor as "second-class citizen", being able to operate at up to 8 MHz, whereas first-class 8088 processors named "8088-1" can operate at up to 10MHz. Either way, the processor operates exactly at the frequency as generated by the …

The 386SX is just a slow CPU, especially at 16mhz, it's a bit slower than a 16mhz 286 (but more capable with its instruction set). There is no cache on this board. Cache wasn't common on 386SX platform, it was mostly a DX thing. Can you please take a clean picture with all the expansion slots empty …

Have you seen UNISOUND? https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=72553 I believe the CT4170 is PnP, you can use UNISOUND to configure it and just not set the OPL port, or map it to something different. I can't find much on the Ati FX Stereo CD card, but the pictures that pop up have a YM3812 …

I ran TMScope with one gamepad in each gameport, and I was able to test all 4 buttons of each gamepad, so I know there is no problem with either the gamepads or the gameports. So it has to be a cable problem. Unfortunately no games support 2 gameports, but only 2 joysticks in one gameport :( Im not …

I know that a few gameport only support 1 gamepad 1 axis and only 2 buttons. Be sure to try your Y-cable with both soundcard you have. Try each soundcard separately in your system ( Just test with 1 soundcard in your system for testing) with the Y-cable. If that doesnt work i have no idea. Y-Cable …

Old style analog joysticks don't need any DOS drivers. They just work. You may have to calibrate them in the game though. (The exception to this are fancy sticks that do some digital trickery over the analog connection, like certain Sidewinder models. These need special software support I believe.) …

Have you tried the banshee in another system to make sure the card is working properly? I think the card is working. I always have this problem, they test new banshees but I always forget what the solution was :) Try to install the drivers through the control panel -> add new hardware and search …

These switches usually look like this: 61+gHAapu8L._SL1500_.jpg Maybe something like this also could be used: 71rALSX30uL._SL1500_.jpg Yes, you need a switch that is rated for AC mains voltages, and it has to be a latching button, meaning that it "stays pushed". The little switches in ATX case are …
