I found this comprehensive guide for hacking Award Modular Bios V4.51PG: https://sites.google.com/site/pinczakko/advanced-award-bios-v4-51-pg-hacking I have modified a bios once; I needed a pnp soundcard be initialized in bios so I can have xt-ide boot from the soundcard ide. Based on what I read it …

Chkcpu, thanks for posting the patching guides. I have a DFI 586ITBD motherboard with 2A59ID4T bios. The bios detects a k6-2 fine, however I recently put k6-2+ in it shows empty string and wrong clock speed, still with bios caching is disabled, the CPU starts fine (I hadn't read your post then and …

I recently bought this kind of common unbranded 368Sx33 ALI M1217 motherboard. It came with 4 256kb 30 pin RAM modules. As you expect from motherboards of era, the leaky battery was removed. When I fired it up, it counted memory to 1024 but the last few hundred KBs it skipped through with the fast …

Can anyone please clarify if 1MB Classic GUS can play any module especially XM, S3M with 16 or 32 tracks with large samples? If there is a limit how much is it?

It is unfortunate, because it locks a lot of people out who want to experience the DOS demo scene legacy on original hardware. On the topic of MOD players; I use Open Cubic Player both with a AWE equipped machine and a GUSpnp equipped machine, and I find the AWE sounding a bit off in hardware mode, …

just saw this on LGR Blerbs. if this project ever goes anywhere, or anyone makes more of these, i would really like to buy one. Indubitably! I love this! If your main goal is to play mod trackers on an older machine, why not going for an AWE32 for less than 80 USD? I've seen some AWE32 patches for …

There is also that one part that is out of stock and just be ordered in quantities of 2000. For mass production we don't need to rely on Mouser or Digikey, other suppliers usually give better quotes and have better availability for these old parts. Some of them should reputable enough to provide …

I understand community effort and contribution but it doesn't justify the attitude of "you can't suggest a price or ask for some alternatives for DIYers". I know that I can do the retracing, thanks for suggesting the obvious. I professionally work with PCB layout engineers but I don't need to spend …

Thermalwrong, we haven't heard any updates of your design for some time. Even with latest developments in Argus, we are still far from seeing it released to public; so your project is a good alternative for DIYers. Another day spent on GUSt :D GUSt Progress 2nd January 2022.png To-Do list: PNP …

I really hope some of folks here pull up their sleeves and do the non-commercial release/production. The target of 200 USD final cost is reasonable IMO You might think that's reasonable, but if you use thoughtfully-selected, quality components, add in the cost of board production, assembly/testing …

The companies selling commercial products charge in range hundred dollars for a simpler/cheaper to manufacture boards (e.g. wavetable daughterboards), so they probably like to sell this product for couple of hundred dollars, 300 and up. I really hope some of folks here pull up their sleeves and do …

Serda Co is one of few stores creating these cool gadgets and I hope they stay around for a long time. For sure there is taxes, insurance, support, etc costs, and the volume of production might not be high enough for a low margins. I just shared my opinion on this specific product and how it can be …

So... this is an old thread but it appears an MT32 on a Waveblaster compatible card is now available! Serdashop do the WP32 McCake which is SF2/MT32 emulator on a waveblaster card. It uses a compute module 4, and runs MT32-PI software. Using CM4 for MT32 pi is an overkill; a RPi Zero 2W is cheaper …

Of course there is a demand for GUS. While I understand the project supporters should take priority; it is just matter of time someone else copy or do a new layout. As long as there is demand there will be some supply.

Hello everyone, I am new to the topic; I couldn't follow the discussion about availability of PCB. Can anyone clarify if a new batch of PCBs are in production or for order?

For those who still looking for solution, I followed the instructions on this page and it fixed the issue: https://support.dynabook.com/support/viewContentDetail?contentId=107632 It seems that Yamaha software GM driver in Windows and Windows network stack overlap in some address range and can't get …
