I have more cards to test anyway, an AV310 with CMI8330 for example which is maybe better or an ESS Audio Drive. And in the end if I don't find a …

Why terrible card? I did installed it. This driver is very fine. I just removed the PnP jumper and no problem to install it in my Compaq 486 MT PC. To install an Opti one, I have to install PnP software, here not. And it is a good SB16 compatible, I just tested Doom with a Midi card on it and it …

Then I did disassemble the bottom part too to do the same cleaning and add new grease: 06.jpeg Then I did cleanup the heads with Acetone and Isopropyl alcohol. But I also took a look à the eject motor stuck in a bad position: 07.jpeg No missing tooth on gears. So I assembled the drive back and made …

Hello, It took me 2 days to put back my Quadra 700 in working state. The hard-disk was dying, when I tried several time to boot from it, the power supply smoked... After that, the floppy disk drive... https://youtu.be/KY1s1iOpa6c But at the end it's back to life and working. I hope you like this …

Oh cheat! You are right! How could I turn the motherboard the wrong way and did not see it before? And this also means the battery did fall into a working state without telling. I have to fix this mess. Many thanks for pointing.

Yes, that is fumy. I use this confinement to take each computer one by one and check/fix it before putting it back into storage. I am probably not the only one doing this, this may be the reason. Haha same here. I am now working on my 2 Frankenstein IBM's and my 5162 just needs a parallel/serial …

Thanks for this long comment. Yes I know the 68000 processor of the Amiga 500 is not in the loop when playing ProTracker modules. The goal of this confrontation was to put the 1st PC against the computer used to create and play all those modules to show how this player is strong on the slowest …

Hello It seems I lost my account here, so here I am again :) I hope you enjoyed my video. Yes the sound is different on the IBM compared to the Amiga, I don't remember how to turn off the default hardware filter of the Amiga. Also the IBM is a bit louder but has less impact on bass. Maybe not easy …
