Windows does detect the SB16 emulator in device manager. I tried installing a few different games and all of them freeze when testing in the config programs and crash immediately upon starting the actual games. Auto-detect options in these config programs either detect nothing or detect the wrong …

My parallel port options in the BIOS: Copy code to clipboard 1 Onboard Parallel Port: 378H/IRQ7 2 Parallel Port Mode: Normal Are these correct? I've never edited them. My motherboard is an Asus P2B-F.

I apologize in advance for any gaps in info this post might have. I recently hooked my Pentium III PC back up for the first time in about a year. Its sound card is a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS, which works wonderfully in Windows games: especially ones with EAX support. However, when booting Windows, …

The biggest gotcha is that some CF cards don't have a boot sector. In general, "industrial" CF cards are more likely to work. Are there any brands in particular that tend to be a safe bet? You should stick to cf/ssd sizes below 127gb, other than that it should work just fine out of the gate. Trying …

Hello, all. The hard drive in my Windows 98SE machine has very little time left, and so I've been considering the possibility of using something like an IDE -> Compact Flash or SD card adapter as a replacement. My motherboard is an ASUS P2B-F with the latest BIOS installed. Are there any potential …

The driver install CD would not detect either of them. Manually installing (by extracting the VxD.cab and pointing Add …

My really crappy Sound Blaster AudioPCI is only putting out sound through the right channel, and I'd been wanting to replace it anyway, so I've been looking at getting an SB Live! card as a replacement.
