Just whatever capacity is used for both the backup and restore operations. The preferred way to create those disk images is 'partclone', it will only use 'dd' as the last resort if it doesn't understand the filesystem that is on that drive. This is what Clonezilla wrote to my network file server: …

The same Clonezilla CD you burn to create an image / backup of your disk drive(s) can be used to restore such backup. I just did that by the way, I restored the image you see on the last 'screenshot' to a different drive. So, I now have all my DOS games exactly the same in both the K6 machine and …

Hello Vogons, During my free time over the past few months, I've been building my own DOS retro games collection. Basically, installing all games I love, making sure they work and so on. As you can imagine, it takes time! Of course I'm not done, I'm planning to do the same for Windows 95/98 games, …

First of all and just to be clear, it is not my intention to trash this great card or anything despicable like that. I don't know what is going on, I don't like what I'm hearing, that's why I'm asking. I have captured three samples in Budokan configured to output sound over PC Speaker, they are …

Hello everyone, I recently got my Orpheus II. I'm building another machine (VIA C3 based) where I can enjoy it. I also have a PC MIDI card in a K6-based system, I really love it. Thank you so much to the team for making these awesome cards! I didn't have much time to play around with the Orpheus yet …

Hi there, I’m afraid I have a couple of issues to report. These are with an LG GSA-4167B (IDE/33) drive and shsucdx. First of all if I open the tray and insert another cd, it goes back to full speed. Not a big issue as I can run cd be quiet again and problem solved. The important one: There is some …

Well, tried a Voodoo 3 PCI. Gets into windows and as soon as you touch the keyboard the pc restarts. Could it be the keyboard, lol? Will try another power supply when I find one. Not sure what's going on there. Nvidia cards are somewhat picky with Super Socket 7 motherboards. I had a Voodoo3 AGP …

I received recently my PCMIDI ISA card and I cannot be happier :) It's an MPU card that supports both intelligent and UART mode. Legend of Hoboken works as expected with it as you can hear in the attached mp3 rough capture. The PCMIDI is configured by jumpers on IRQ 2 and address 330H. Here is my …

Has anyone tried the game with an actual MPU401 and MT32? It's an obscure enough game that it might be worth double checking to make sure it works correctly at all. Wish I owned some actual hardware that I could try it with, fingers crossed that someone here will be able and willing to test it out. …

Reporting back. It works! well kinda... Using the MT32-Pi and SoftMPU, the voice over makes the music stop and hang. Hear the difference between Sound Blaster and MT-32 below.

Makes sense. First time I see something like this though, getting the sound effects from the mt32 instead of the Sound Blaster. Interesting 😀

Hi all, Just wanted to share a somewhat interesting behaviour I'm seeing running Prince of Persia. What I'm using is a K6-III+ based machine with a Sound Blaster 64 AWE GOLD that I have connected to an MT32-Pi. The Prince of Persia version I'm running is 1.3. The thing is, if I run the game without …
