I got the McCake and I have to say it is awesome. It’s much more convenient than having an external device outside of the case IMO.

Can you post photos of your setup ?
I'm curious 😉

I had that exact HP CD-RW drive in my Pentium II PC back in the day. It was actually my first CD-RW IIRC, either 4x or 8x.

Very nice work on the project!

Sorry, if this was answered before but does this fit on an Audician 32? That looks like it's a 5,5cm - 6cm board so it would barely fit. Just asking for confirmation if anyone can test.

edit. also any chance of ISA MPU Card getting resurrected?

Keropi already has the PCMIDI ISA MPU card you can order.

After trying a number of soundfonts (listed here: Re: WP32 McCake : MT32 compatible waveblaster board) I personally find the deemster SC-55 soundfont most enjoyable, although I never had a SC-55 or SC-88 so I can't really compare, but it seems the most "whole". What do you think dreamblaster?

I just made this video showing my WP32 McCake. Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iOWCe131QE

Also i found out that the MT32-Pi https://github.com/gmcn42/mt32-pi-control#dos … pecific-options can take DOS and 4DOS variables as input.
For example one can use it to display status info on boot.
MT32-PI.EXE -T"Booting: %_DOS %_DOSVER" Or maybe it was -T"Booting: "%_DOS %_DOSVER
I am not in frond of mye Retro computer when writing this.

If you have some good ways of using the OLED screen, please share.
It there a way to set how long the message should stay?
