The recent topic on https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=98663&start=20 got me thinking about a nice low-profile 486 that I have that came with a PCISA riser card that I did not get with the system. For anyone not familiar, PCISA is a pseudo-standard that became somewhat common for …

elszgensa, I recall having issues with dma mode with one of those in a two drive setup with the second drive being a dvdrom. So I went with slightly more expensive ones Seems like the current price of €4.91 is lower than the 6.21, 6.19 & 9.98 I payed for them a few years ago.

If a soundcard has a wavetable header, connecting that to the macsd should/could work, right? Even audio could be routed back through the wavetable header in stead of the cd in , though that is just an added option. Sure, I don't see why not. Cool, I've had you bookmarked for over three years now …

Are you using a custom cable to connect to the wavetable headers on the card, or something routed over the joystick port? If the header, is it doing both the MIDI signal and audio to/from the sound card? The SB16 is a CT4180. I soldered a two pin header (data and gnd) to the bottom of the 15-pin …

Just curious, do you have another device that you could attach on the thru of the mt-32. To check if the midi signal that comes in on the mt32 still goes through. If not, it seems likely that the optocoupler inside the mt-32 is broken.

You can get decent speeds using powerline ethernet if you make sure you do not pass through the breakers and also do not use any distribution plugs that have filters built in. and if you have tv cable distribution in your house and in your room, there exist adapters that allow you to get up to …

I have no idea at the moment how ICS works in windows these days. Maybe you can help by telling us exactly where to look. Seems pretty simple according to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r824PZi7CI on your win11 pc go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections Wifi Adapter\ …

you shouldn't need to mess with ICS on win98, if the win11 pc is doing the Internet Connection Sharing. you just need to make sure that your win98 pc can talk to your win11 pc over the network cable. Verify on both pc's that the ethernet adapter shows a connection and that you can ping from w98 to …

good luck. Might I suggest your next purchase be a multimeter that can do voltage, resistance, continuity measurements.

You know, if you have another one of those male to male adapters and an ide cable, you can hook it up. Though you'll need to have it at the end of the chain. not in the middle, if that even cooperates with another device. ie, controller, ide cable, male to male, ide cable, male to male, ide2cf …

I doubt it too. other possibility would be mouse driver, though I doubt you changed driver between time it worked and now that it doesn't work.
