Some photo's from the testing...
Myst via Win3.1 works ! - the CD ROM drive struggles during the startup video, but the game itself plays fine and looks good . This is certainly a result as my attempt with the old 5420 graphics chip found it was very difficult to play - now the only limitation with MYST is how fast the Backpack CDROM is - the only solution would be running a drive from the IDE, but I'm not going to do that to this system, so the Backpack will have to do.
Other games such as Warcraft 2 play nicely and "talkie" adventure games are fine with the CD drive and perform flawlessly.
However I did get some sound issues with the AWE64 card with some games (especially Civilisation) when no sound, or even adlib (from the Megadrive) was heard. I was a bit suspicious about the pnp - so tried a non-pnp card. A quick change to a old Aztech Sound Galaxy card fixed it and all is working ok now. I'm probably going to leave everything else alone until Keropi's MegaPC card becomes avaliable, as the PC side is running well and I don't want to jinx it 😀
