I kind of thinking. Mt200 sounds different then mt32 (I tried it on Monkey Island). Wouldn't be possible to change roms in mt200 to change instruments and be 100% compatible with mt32/Lapci sound?

Sorry for microwaving such an old thread, but I have 433 LV. It works, but once or twice it died on me (no display, keyboard blinks, fan spins). Not sure why :( PSU seems to have different markings (it is p4 and p5), and I'm not sure if I can plug regular P8 and p9 connector into it. Question, can …

Do I put it into MCA port? …

Ok. So it looks like problem with FDD. Is there any XTIDE card that will work with such computer? It looks like ISA, but seem to be further from sliding slots 🙁 Maybe there is some I/O card, with regular FDD and IDE interface? What to get?

You need a new battery (google CR-P2) https://ardent-tool.com/misc/batteries.html BIOS is setup using reference floppy disks. https://ardent-tool.com/disks/ Beware PS/2 floppy drives tend to die from bad capacitors so you need to check if yours works.

I was just thinking about sticking SBC card with VGA output into it and use it that way 😀 I ordered a battery. Quick question, that PSU needs some recapping? It makes crazy noises 🙁 Is there a way to enter bios, or I have to have that floppy first? Original fdd is 1.4 or 720KB?

What you need: Controller (any type) for hard drive, best to go with SCSI. Battery, power supply (it comes with the tower internally). floppy drive with correct type of cable. set of floppies to configure the computer. This is minimum to run. Caution: expensive to restore one to working condition. …
