Big Monstro, does the software midi driver work for you?

Works for me thanks Watler!

Reimann, that is amazing!
Software Midi drivers have an astronomical overhead.
What sort of a computer were you able to run it on?

I wrote a TSR to reduce the minimum RAM requirements of the es1371 PCI windows driver.
ES137X.EXE
The new TSR will reserve a low XMS address before windows has started.

For computers with more RAM than win3x can handle, it is better to omit the TSR and manually specify a RAM address in outer space.

When using computers with less than 256mb of ram, use the TSR.

Perhaps those who have motherboards which are incompatible with the AudioPCI cards could make use of an AC97,HDA, or USB audio device.

Big Monstro, I see that the APIC was first introduced on 486 computers.
If its operation does not disrupt windows, It might be used in place of mmtimer.
Do you have a simple example I can test on my PCI DX2?

Big Monstro, I see that the APIC was first introduced on 486 computers.

At the beginning, APIC was only used by multiprocessors hardware. MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 don't support these systems.

I play mp3 files with WinPlay, available here >>> viewtopic.php?t=379

Is this the standard you are talking about?

I thought that Intel intended it for all advanced "32-bit BUS" systems
and that no newer systems have real 8259.

I know Compaq gave a high speed timer setup on their newer 32-bit bus 486 machines.
Perhaps they were playing with the idea of a faster and more advanced PIC.
I wonder if it is the APIC that throws off the timing of some Klik&Play games.

Big Monstro, are you saying that Winplay3 makes use of APIC features?
Is the AudioPCI "clicking noise" gone now?

I have a few potential Windows 3.1 applications and drivers.

The links of driver and application its not working any more.

They work for me

I am sorry about the poor quality web hosting services.
Do you think I should mirror more of the projects to http://nwserveur.no-ip.org/upload/dev/ ?

I received an Ideacentre k410 and tested win3x on it.
Windows 3.1 seems to work just fine on its Pentium G640.

I had a look at the Memory Mapped PCIE/X Registers.

Tested software rendering of 3d object files.

Even the ACPI tables seem to be working with Win3x.
Any one curious about Intel HD graphics?

Yes, watlers_world, you can use the Vorro's FTP server to mirror your files, just like any other Win3x.Org member.

That server uses the conventional FTP protocol (not SFTP). The user identifier is web and there is no password.

Best regards.
