| Kaytrim:
If you guys are worried about the floppy drive noises look at the third link in my post above. The project uses a Compact Flash card with an IDE to CF adapter. You can get both of these items real cheap on eBay. These are more durable than a USB key. As soon as I get my adapters I am going to build a few bartop models for friends and family. TTFN :cheers: Kaytrim |

--- Quote ---I was thinking about that too. The initial shutter-slide sound and the grunt-grunt-grunt sound the drive makes. You could remove the shutter, and I've always assumed those AMOAD disks pretty load everything into RAM so the drive sound only occurs at boot time. Set BIOS to "boot from floppy" so there's no hunting, and pull the leads off the speaker so there's no PC "beeeeeeeeeeep". --- End quote --- what do you mean by pull the leads? |
| BobA:
I assume he means disconnect the speaker leads on the internal PC speaker by pulling them off their pins on the MB. |
| SithMaster:
I figured he meant the internal speaker(s) but dont most users not have internal speakers hooked up? Unless you plan on running this straight from your everyday pc you wont have to worry about the beeping since all you have are speakers hooked up to a sound card. i might get around to using the disk i made this week. thanks to whoever mentioned amoad. |

I used a Delhi III motherboard (eMachines) running DOS 7. Boots quickly, frontend is ArcadeOS (though obviously it could boot right to Galaga) running Mame .96 modified to remove the warning about incorrect video in Galaga. |
