  1. This was the very first soundcard I owned. Not this exact one, but tue same or very similar model. Utilizing the MediaVision Jazz16 chipset and a Yamaha OPL3 it had SoundBlaster Pro compatibility (which the SB16 didn’t have) and under Windows, OS/2 and Linux(!) back in 1994/1995 also 16 bit 44KHz Stereo sound, giving you CD quality audio. It was mostly jumperless and was configured through a driver loaded at boot time.

  11. Lâchez vos claviers AZERTY ou vos QWERTY.
    ABCDE trop fades ? Las des Dvorak ?
    Ceux sans sérigraphie sont un truc de prétentieux ?
    Osez le NGXYZ. Mais d'abord, vérifiez que toutes les lettres y sont.
    On est jamais trop prudent.

  16. Here is a Universal Bus Prototyping #FujiNet WiFi Adapter configured with an #MSX daughter board to become a cartridge.

    Yes, there is a USB cable connecting the two components, for now.

    You can see the test point headers and the solder points for remapping.

  21. Well, look at that. The VIC20 powers up just fine. I never owned one, so I need to explore it a bit. Not sure offhand what diagnostics to try to fully exercise it, but I think my Pi1541 will work with it, so I should go find some disk images.

    Open to suggestions from those better versed in the old VIC.
