Jim, as to your mainframe storage comment, so have I. My business is no secret: I run a consultancy/freelance systems manager/software support businesslet. I Use Access, Paradox, PC-File and Filemaker Pro, to design and develop for clients. This means conversions only too often and that gobbles up HD space, fortunately…
Jack, that's a new one for me, how many cards do you have in your box, that you've run out of IRQs? Mind you, I've only got 11 & 12 left, I think. And I've one slot open but that's blocked by cables. Out of 8. Black Peter
Joe, yes it is an IDE hard disk controller, the exact designation is DC-600. There are more types on the market. This one retails in the UK at about GBP 99.- or USD 150 with 2 Mb (it will take 16Mb). It's Taiwanese, an OEM product, really. Look through the…
The Media Concept 2.0 sound card came with a special cable (rather "and plug" to replace the Mitsumi one) to connect the audio from the Mitsumi in my case. The Mitsumi card is used as the controller. The sound card is basic, but came with speakers and microphone. It retails…
Right on Rich Philips and good marketing are incompatible, it seems, they were eg the only Western Company that supported MSX, developed their own Video2000 system that collapsed even earlier than Betamax, while superior technically to both Betamax _AND_ VHS. However, they also built the compact cassette and developed the…
Jack? a slip-up! IRQ5 is generally empty, or used for LPT2, on the machines that have two parallel ports. IRQ7 is used by LPT1. And even then I use my soundcard over IRQ 7, which is its default. No harm apparently. Regards Black Peter
Jerry, It's even simpler than Craig offers, take the sound output from the Mitsumi and connect it to the SB, and let the SB's output handle all the sound, whether to small connected speakers, or via a split to your stereo amplifier. All you need is a little cable, or…
Sreten, Checkit 3.0 will give you that information. I use it all the time when installing stuff. I have my Ethernet card on IRQ 15, but I/O on 300. Most Ethernets use I/O 300 as default. I put the Mitsumi well out of the way, on 340. It being able…
Gregory, at last, a fellow sufferer! I did the same thing the first weekend this month when experiencing serious trouble when trying to install MPC: kill Windows and all INIs and reinstalled 3.1 and W4WG, a real PITA. And then all relevant apps. Took me 16 hours (200Mb+), but everything…
Hi FWIW, using qemm 6.01 I have the line down as c:\q\loadhi r:2 c:\w\mscdex.exe /s /d:mscd001 /m:10 /e please note the /e switch at the end. If you use QEMM, it will allocate EMS or XMS space as required. With ten buffers (/M:10), you get the most out of your…
