Compatibility Report: 5150 and 5160
I tried the latest picogus 2 which I obtained from polpo earlier this year in my 5150 and 5160 motherboards.
On the 5150 as half expected it was not detected at all.
- 64kb-256kb motherboard
- ROM: 10/27/82
- RAM fully populated to 256kb
- Other cards: PEGA1A EGA card, Quad flop floppy adapter with no floppy bios. (only EGA ROM)
- Soundblaster firmware installed on picogus (v1.2)
- Booted with 360kb disk and ran pgusinit.exe (v1.2) -> no picogus detected.
On the 5160 it seems to work fine
- 256kb-640kb motherboard
- ROM: 05/09/86
- RAM fully populated to 640kb
- Other cards: CGA, adaptec scsi jumpered to floppy only mode. (no ROMS)
- Soundblaster firmware installed on picogus (v1.2)
- Booted with 360kb disk and ran pgusinit.exe (v1.2) -> picogus detected no problems
- I've also previously tested this motherboard a few months ago in a more complete configuration with an xtide and various games seemed to work fine in the old version's adlib mode (haven't tested anything more fancy)
Thanks for an awesome product!
