Commodore C128D - 1985 - Sold

Have replaced missing keys on keyboard
Used my own CGA to SCART cable. Gives all 16 colours. Se here for details
Using external drive og SD2IEC on a C128D is not easy due to the built inn floppy who is ID8. I found a program that swapped ID 8 and 9. I have to run this program every time, so it is not an optimal solution. Using a 128D is usually more trouble then using a C64.
Disabled the internal floppy drive, because it conflicts with the SD2IEC.

S3 Savage IX8+ video controller with 8MB - AGP2X
More information here
Installed with Windows 98 UBCD
CrystalClear SoundFusion
Supports SB Pro (3.02) 220h, IRQ 5, DMA 1. Setting can not be changed.
Supports Adlib from DOS. OK, but a plays to fast. AdLib sounds better then SB.
Must have CWCDOS.EXE to support FM/OPL and DSP in DOS
It supports SB and Adlib in Windows 98SE, plus General Midi. The General Midi from Windows is very good.
Must use old audio drivers to get DOS support. The newer version adds DirectX 8 support, but removes DOS drivers and SB compatibility in Windows.
All in all this is an OK machine for DOS gaming.
Minus for the poor OPL (adlib/SB) support.
Plus for a good screen with hardware scales 320x200 games to fullscreen.
The best way to play DOS games on this machine is from Windows because you General Midi support, and therefor do not rely on the bad OPL implementation.
Demos usually do not use MIDI/OPL so they run best from DOS.
Very good for Windows 98 gaming - because it has an S3 Savage with 8MB ram. Good for DirectX games.
