Very sorry to hear irrlicht, you mean all data, links etc are gone ? That's really sad. Anyway, I have some space on two servers and I am willing to assist you if you would like to start new forum. Just let me know smile !

Anyone knows what happened to 1-bit forum ?

Thanks !

I have one, fully working, not using much so might be interested to sell. Or trade. Any 8-bit computers around ? smile

New models working (at least didn't found these from the threads):

IBM Thinkpad 701c (not sure what card, apparently ESS ES1688)
IBM Thinkpad 770X (probably all 770 models), sound card Crystal CS4236)

these work directly from DOS, no drivers are needed, no Windows either

not sure yet model(s):

Toshiba Portege 3110CT, ESS Maesto-2, ES1978 (needs Windows sound card drivers)

Hi,

A bit older message, but thought to still ask: I have Toshiba Portege 3110CT with ESS Maesto-2E (ES1978), running FreeDOS 1.1, found some drivers for the audio card, like a mixture of DOS and Windows drivers (originally for Windows). You mentioned that you looked some forums where people actually did get it to work. Any recollection what forums ?

Thanks !

I was under the impression that almost all of the ESS cards are just emulated SB16. Some older ones, may have had an actual opl3 chip on it, but these later ESS ones emulate SB16, hence being SB16 compatible.

The ESS Maestro-2E, is not SB16 compatible. Well, easily. I tried and tried with that one and could never get MSDOS to detect it. I looked on some other forums and people who actually did get it to work, said it sounded very thin and the worst ESS they have heard. So I gave up on the ESS Maestro-2E cards, heh.

Hi,

I am having problems with PT1210, using Amiga 500, OCS, KS 1.3. After trying to load any MOD, it simply freezes. Any tips ? Known problem ?

Thanks !
