After a few months searching I finally found a working MX400 PCI. I guess now my Pentium 233 is finally complete.

Hi, Got recently a Roland Sound Canvas SC-55 for a fair price and it seems to work just fine (demo mode, functions, phones volume, etc are ok). Got a MIDI cable from Ali Express and tried to connect my Sound Card (Audician 32 A151A00) Game Port to the SC-55 but no sound at all. Since it doesn't …

Arrived today. The Quickshot is awesome, with great precision. The other is a generic stick with a cool feature that support use with both right or left hand, bit the coolness stops there hahaha

Ow boy, I finally managed to get the awesome Roland Sound Canvas SC-55. It was a fair price and it's working great. Now just waiting for the MIDI cable to arrive so I can play DOS games at their best. I'm really, really happy with this purchase. If you didn't do that already, remember to remove/ …

Wow, what an odd thing that is. I would check that with Everest or RivaTuner or some other program to see what it really is and if it has a 64bit or 128bit memory bus. I have my doubts that that is a real Pro. With no brand name, a Geforce logo on the box and only two memory chips on each side, it …

This beauty arrived today. - Out: S3 Trio64V+ - In: RivaTNT2 PRO Really happy with the results. Now I can enjoy some good old 3D games with smooth graphics, but my search for a MX 400 PCI still strong. Wow, what an odd thing that is. I would check that with Everest or RivaTuner or some other …

We have the board documented here http://www.win3x.org/uh19/motherboard/show/2487 but there are many things missing. First of all, please backup your bios so we can add it to our page for backup purposes. As for the BIOS you're trying to flash on it, I'm sure it's the right one, or pretty close (it …

Don't know if I'm on the right sub, but here we go I'm trying to update my mobo(SL-586V ART REV:E), so I can get 2 HDD (40 and 80GB) working. The mobo itself can't detect anything above 8GB with the original BIOS. Tried a few files that I found but no success. Anyone knows/have an update file that …

Just an update. Got 2 Yamaha cards. Now time to test this beauties. Nice! Functionality should be identical. My prejudice says the Labtec card is likely to sound cleaner than the A-Trend, but there's just one way to find out for sure ;) Yeah, I'm dying to try both, but my win98 got corrupted and …

I was looking for a Yamaha sound card and luckily found 2 at a great price tag. Audician 32 - LWHA151A00 ATC-6631 (don't know the brand but it was manufactured here in Brazil) Pretty happy with both, too bad that my Windows 98 installation got corrupted and I'm without floppy disks to boot a new …

Nice system! - and welcome. Third vote for YMF71x+SB16, you get best of both worlds that way. I'd also put the YMF on the traditional settings (A220, I5 or 7 if you want to play really old stuff, D1, P330) and the SB16 on alternate (A240 I3 or 7, D3, H5 and disable MIDI). That gives you real OPL …

As you already own the SB16 you could install both and use the SB16 for games that support it (The Yamaha only supports SB Pro or WSS) or the games affected by the post Joseph_Joestar linked. Depends on which games you want to play if its worth it or not (or use as an excuse for another retro PC ;) …

Thanks for the replies, I went with the Yamaha A151-A00 YMF-719-S since the seller oc the 719E-S sounded fishy to me. Now waiting for arrival.

Last gift of 2020. Mobo PC Chips M530 64MB EDO RAM Pentium 133 - A80502133 (not MMX but, it was bought as a kit for my 200 MMX) When my retro PC spark was ignited this was the first thing that I bought. Decent price for a working board with 64MB, processor was a bonus since my goal was a MMX 200-233 …
