Holy crap, glad I read this thread, had no idea sb pro didn't support mpu-401, I was about to swap out my audician32 for a sb pro now I think I'll try to figure out how to add it alongside and do the tarantella of the IRQs and the DMAs

Tonight, I broke out my roland jv1010 to compare it to my dreamblaster x2 gs. My pithy comparison vs the x2gs in a few games is as follows: Doom - Good Doom 2 - Good Heretic - Great Hexen - Great Hexen II - Meh DN3D - Bad Dark Forces - Ewwwwww

Does anyone know if this will fit on an audician32/ymf71x card? The x2gs fits easily but this one seems much larger. There's no reason for you to use it on a soundcard, if you already have the X2GS. They are essentially the same hardware and use the same banks. The X16 has a more powerful CPU and …

I'd need ISA. That tyan board does look nice, even the single cpu version, but I suppose I'd have to "git gud" to desolder and replace that dallas/odin with a socket to add in a replacement. I suck with a desoldering pump. Or rather I don't haha I’m recalling it was socketed on all mine Oh wow, …

It looks like your board is high-quality but usual 430TX AT/ATX motherboard. Pls post a photo of overclock page in your BIOS and i think what maybe spare alternative for your mobo. Sure thing will do. Jan has a patched BIOS for using K6-2/3+ CPUs with that motherboard if you should ever want to use …

So I think over time I've come to realize that I lucked the hell out when I found my uncle's old PC in my grandfather's basement last year. It was a desktop style Gateway p5-75 on the outside but inside it had an abit ab-tx5 mainboard with a pentium 166mmx and 96 megs of sdram. I threw an s3 virge, …

I'm assuming you are completely removing power from the system for a few mins during the disconnect. Perhaps it's just doing that? I had a system with a bad psu, removing power completely for 10 mins or so would bring it back to life for a while until one day it didn't.

Yea, I was a little surprised the monitor didn't wig out either. I thought it was normal vga stuff to double up anything below 640x400. Everyone always says to go with v2 over v1, maybe I've discovered like the only reason one might prefer a v1 besides wanting to see Lara's shadow :D . Or maybe it's …

When I put games into 512x384 resolution on this Diamond Monster 3d I just got, I actually get 384 rows, not line doubled to 768. I didn't know this was possible and to make sure I wasn't going insane, I did a quick spin through a couple of old Nvidia and ATI cards I had and they all render 384 as …

I've always found soldering mini-din connectors incredibly annoying, and unless you pot the connector also prone to damage. What I'd do is find a PS/2 extension, or a salvage a cable from a scrap device and depending on how your kb is made crimp a new connector on the pcb side of the cable (usually …

I got a deal on two dell at101 keyboards that was apparently too good to be true, near perfect condition, but upon further inspection when they arrived, one of them has the 5v pin snapped off the plug and the other is missing the data pin. Like completely twisted off no remnant of it left. Almost …
