Slightly incorrect but know what you mean. PCI-PCMCIA adapters exist which allow notebook cards to be used in desktops (not sure why you would with the vast choice of pci and isa cards) Unfortunately PCMCIA-PCI (adapters for use in laptops to allow a PCI cards) do not exist. Expensive laptop …

For anyone who wants to use a PCMCIA card like the Roland above, you can also use them in desktop PCs, via a PCMCIA-PCI adapter card. They don't really manufacture them anymore, but there are a lot of them out there in the wild of the online resellers. Slightly incorrect but know what you mean. PCI …

Thanks, few questions... What is disk2 for? - It looks like samples only, mainly .SMP files Can disk1 also be used for win9x? That sucks, what's the point in having an audio card that supports DOS but only to use the pcdemo and playfile instead of also supporting DOS game? Do you think this would …

Hi, Does this have support for Windows 98 SE? So I could use Soundblaster emulation for sound fx and this for music How far along have the drivers advanced in terms of emulating soundblaster sound fx? Something like this would be perfect if it had Soundblaster OPL3 support for both sound fx and …

Had one of these years ago - the docking station had pci slots in it. Whether they'd work under DOS for sound cards I don't know (I used windows 2000 with mine), but if you see one eg on ebay, might be worth a shot. Ta for the quick reply. I guess a huge powered docking station sort of defeats the …

I can confirm the ESS198X VXD drivers do not work with a Dell Inspiron 8100, or at least I havent managed to get them working yet. The Dell Inspiron 8100 / Latitude C810 uses ESS Maestro 3i Driver on the Dell website Ive been using is 'ESS Maestro 3i (Audio Only), v. 5.12.01.1165, A06' I've managed …

I thought I would resurrect this thread after 4 years instead of creating another. Inspiron 8100 here too, all working great but why they put these terrible audio chips in is beyond me. It does an OK job in Windows 98 SE with ESS Maestro PCI Audio (WDM) even DOS prompt games work with midi using …

I'll resurrect this thread. As already stated, the Voodoo 3 was an incredible card and perfect for ~1997-2001 gaming. Quake II for the first time in 1024 x 768 without needing SLI or SLI combined with a 2D card and running at 80fps!? Unheard of in 1997

I've been playing around with a Gateway Essentials 500 desktop PC for a little while now, turning it into a retro gaming PC for some light nostalgia trips. It has an Intel Warm Springs WS440BX motherboard in it and when I received it I noticed that it didn't have the most recent BIOS installed. …

I have a Soundblaster 16 (CT2230) and I too have been looking at getting game CD audio working through Daemon tools 3.47 to play some retro games. To get this to work correctly is proving difficult. You need the Daemon tools virtual drive assigned with D: drive letter to start. You can then mount an …

So far the CT2230 plays DOS and Windows games perfectly upto and including later Windows games like Unreal Tournament... why even bother with the SB Live! PCI card? Here are a couple of reasons, excluding 3D sound support: PCI sound cards generally have less self-noise than their ISA counterparts …

Very old post I know, but why even bother with a PCI soundcard in Windows 9X if you don't care about '3d audio' (which I don't) I had a Soundblaster Live! (CT4760) installed which was fine for Windows gaming but DOS and anything in Windows which required Soundblaster 16 emulation was terrible - …
