Re: Weren't sound artists frustrated to know that very few players would be hearing the true sound of their creations?

What's fascinating to me is that this is the period in computer music history when audio devices were actually synthesizing the music directly. That music playback sounded different on different devices is a direct consequence of not having prerecorded music tracks. It also lasted for a relative …

Re: Weren't sound artists frustrated to know that very few players would be hearing the true sound of their creations?

It was a given back then that a huge range of audio devices were being used in the PC market, from PC speaker through to high end MIDI modules, and composers would be targeting a range of them for compatibility. FM chips in sound cards, far from being simply an inferior vehicle for MIDI compositions …

Re: The IBM Game Port, more than just games

Re: I think my ISP might be blocking The Internet Archive?

in Milliways
I have had this. Not blocked, but severely throttled. This was happening on different connections in different cities, from the same ISP (Aussie Broadband). They are a great ISP for tech support, and I spent some time with them going through traceroutes and stuff. They confirmed they weren't doing …

Re: Newly made ISA CGA cards with real 6845s?!

As with many products coming out of China, there are a few sellers who have this for sale and use the same images and description. ...and price. Even worse their usernames are username_a, username_b, username_c... I don't get it, it's very weird and repelling. It's a common practice for some eBay …
