It was the original game for DOS. I've barely even seen the later games in the series, to be honest. Enough to know which game is which, at least.

Hmmn, never had a copy for the Amiga (or any platform other than DOS) - I do understand it's the original/definitive version though. Anyway it's a mystery to me - I'm as sure as I can be that I'm not misremembering... Perhaps it was a special release for the SBPro bundle?

Hey folks, hoping someone can help me out; I'm having no luck finding answers elsewhere. I'm practically 100% certain that the Lemmings I played back in the day in DOS had digital sound effects - the creak of the door, the "Oh no!" voice and so on are still vivid in my memory. Sadly my own original …

Hey all, I've been gradually trying to get some of my GOG.com copies of games running on native DOS 6.22 and Win98 SE as appropriate. There was an old topic , but rather than necro that or make a post just for one game I thought I'd start a new thread to share findings on getting the more stubborn …

All the cards except for the ES1688 card used the same Dos drivers but the ES1688 had its own same set of files but were probably different in some way. Hmmn, the files I've used for the ES1868 and ES1869 were also different and took different parameters, e.g. for DMA. With the ES186x cards at …

One of my primary retro PCs is a Compaq Deskpro EN P2-400 with an integrated ESS Audiodrive 1869F, however it's always had an annoying issue: FM synthesis doesn't work in DOS regardless of any setting I've found to mess with. Tonight I finally got around to having a look through the datasheet, tried …

Do any of the cards work under Windows 95/98 on the same machine? I had no intentions of installing Windows BUT yeah... It'd be interesting to see. I'll give it a shot on a different Compact Flash card at some point soon. So I got Windows 98 SE installed - it's actually a lot snappier than I …

FWIW, I ran a Realtek RTL8139 for years under Linux on a PC Chips M919 which uses the same UMC chipset. IRQs were never a problem on that board. Ooh, interesting! That may be a good lead, thanks. I'm unsure what the differences are between the UM8886BF and UM8886A (maybe BF actually works!). Some …

Do any of the cards work under Windows 95/98 on the same machine? I had no intentions of installing Windows BUT yeah... It'd be interesting to see. I'll give it a shot on a different Compact Flash card at some point soon. Most probably a stupid question/suggestion, but, "PNP OS installed" option in …

Another long-shot but does anyone happen to have the datasheet/docs for the UM8886A or UM8881F lying around? Seems like UMC docs are pretty rare in the wild. Heck, maybe they were never published in English... EDIT: So it appears that the PCI/ISA bridge on this chipset doesn't store IRQ routing info …

Are you talking about the output of Bret Johnson's IRQ tool? If so, look at the top of the column - "common use". Which is "n/a" because there's (apparently) no common use for IRQ 9-11. e.g. I don't have a PS/2 mouse - that's just the common use for IRQ 12. "Slot using INT" in the BIOS can be set to …

I do have a couple of old serial EEPROM programmers but the software for them is long gone - I want to get my hands on a new USB one before I try anything on that front. And it'd be with a fresh chip after I've thoroughly backed up the existing one, since it seems like the current BIOS is nowhere to …

Thanks guys - the motherboard is as-new, no electrical problems I can identify (e.g. capacitors, traces), all contacts are pristine, and the S3 Trio64 works in all three slots perfectly. I mentioned four PCI cards in the post above, but to be more specific, I've tried the following: - The Realtek …

Hey all! So I recently began putting together a 486 machine for gaming and programming fun, but I'm having issues with its PCI bus. The motherboard is apparently obscure, but it matches this one . Certainly all jumpers are identical, although this board identifies itself as PU-S7, not PU-S3. I have …
