**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Feb 01 02:59:56 2019 Feb 01 05:10:06 hey Feb 01 05:52:12 /u/cu Feb 01 07:17:50 Some old notebook computers have documentation claiming that the integrated audio controller of the computer is compatible with at least one model of ISA sound card. Is a DOS application running on real DOS able to drive the integrated audio controller on any of these notebook computers without needing special software for the integrated audio, the same as if the application was running on a desktop motherboard with a real ISA sound card installed? Feb 01 08:36:57 https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Asus+ZenFone+2+Battery+Replacement/59910 Feb 01 08:37:00 That looks like a PITA. Feb 01 08:42:56 that's why it's called 'non user replaceable battery' Feb 01 08:43:12 the only hard part is gluetape. rest is trivial Feb 01 08:44:07 gluetape is BS in this setup tho, because battery is held by plastic frame anyway Feb 01 11:35:52 bit offtopic and old, but fun: https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2016-02-16-why-i-stopped-using-startssl-because-of-qihoo-360.html Feb 01 11:36:38 also, qihoo bought opera in 2016 Feb 01 12:07:36 brolin_empey: for the sound cards - most of the devices from the 'ess audio drive' era are SB PRO compatible and do not require any additional sw Feb 01 15:49:48 totalizator: Including Audio Drive integrated circuits integrated on a motherboard as opposed to Audio Drive ISA cards? Feb 01 16:02:01 this way or another - it it's sb compatible chip like ES688 it simply works - even without additional setup in the OS Feb 01 17:09:29 moving from a jolla-c to sony xa2 I realized that only one sim was nano size Feb 01 17:09:39 now I've got my n9 running for the meantime :) Feb 01 17:10:26 or rather I'm trying to get it to charge enough **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Feb 01 18:03:54 2019 Feb 01 20:46:54 totalizator: OK, thank you. I could try it myself but the priority is low and the HDD in my DOS tower computer is 3.5-inch so I would have to clone the drive onto a 2.5-inch drive to use the same drive in a notebook computer. I have a spare 2.5-inch 32-GB PATA SSD I can use but the priority is still low. I thought I could maybe use a notebook computer instead of a desktop/tower computer to run DOS applications designed to drive an ISA sound card but it Feb 01 20:46:54 does not matter in practice because I usually no longer run such applications and I have an 80686 tower computer with ISA slots (Asus P2B model of Slot 1 ATX motherboard, 400-MHz Pentium II CPU, 512 MiB of main memory). Feb 01 20:49:22 I could try to use the 32-GB CompactFlash SSD with Win95 from my ThinkPad 755CD in the Pentium III notebook computer. I have a Pentium II notebook computer with AMLCD too.
