SB 16 PCI...can't configure the base I/O.
SB 16 PCI...can't configure the base I/O.
Hi...this is my first post to these forums, which are great by the way. This is an awesome site.
I haven't touched a DOS game in over 10 years;however, I still saved part of my collection. Now my 8 year old son wants to see what "Dad's games" looked like...pre-Gamecube era.
I'm putting together a new retro machine. It's a pure DOS 6.2 rig...no Windows at all. However, I am having problems installing the soundcard. It's a SB 16 PCI card. The install program just won't let me set my base I/O address, which is 220H by default.
What am I doing wrong? There is nothing else on the mb besides a cheap video card.
HELP !

What's wrong with a base I/O address of 220H?

That is a good suggestion!dosraider wrote:I don't think you do anything wrong, it is that not all older MOBO's works well with SB PCI cards on plain dos, If you have ISA slots try to get an ISA SB 16 , you will not have any problems with such one.
It is an old mb and it does have three ISA slots. I will pick up an old ISA sound card and try it out.
Thanks!

What you call "nonsense" I call "idea", and what I call "idea" may be flawed, but you don't have to rub it in my face. Be nicer next time and point out what's wrong.dr_st wrote:Nope, no problem with you. Just with the nonsense you sometimes spew.GameMaster.EXE wrote:You have a problem with me?

Back to topic, please.

I will be nicer when you throw around your ideas more carefully. If you don't really know how things work, you shouldn't suggest what's to be done with them. It triggers mean responses from jerks like me.
Anyhow, there is no such thing as "DOS 8.0". It's an unofficial name to the core system files that Windows ME runs on, just like Windows 98 runs on "DOS 7.10". The difference is that in WinME Microsoft has intentially crippled DOS access - basically you have no pure DOS mode. There is a way to bring it back through an unofficial third party patch, I remember reading about it many years ago. But it's simpler and better to go with Win95/98/SE to begin with.

Jeez, you could have just said that earlier.dr_st wrote:I will be nicer when you throw around your ideas more carefully. If you don't really know how things work, you shouldn't suggest what's to be done with them. It triggers mean responses from jerks like me.

And I wasn't suggesting anything, it was just an idea......
