I uploaded my test HDFs and configs for A2286 Mono/Color testing to The Zone - A2286 Mono-Color Test.zip

OK, the Sound Blaster 1.0 driver is working in Windows 3.11

No problems with the x86 Bridgeboard emulation without the PCem parts.
The HDF file + configuration files > The Zone!

This is strange. My Sidecar config boots, also if I use my config but your HDF, it still boots. Only your config + your HDF has the problem. I tried to change config options one by one but it still won't boot..

Can you upload your working config with using my HDF, please?
My config + HDF is working for you on x86 Bridgeboard without the PCem core?

[Toni Wilen]

Fixed. It hung if no PC sound output device was enabled (speaker or SB).

Thank you AnnaWu, i had already set this up

DOOM
Setup
Select Music Card > Sound Blaster > 220
Select Sound FX Card > Sound Blaster > 220 > 7 > 1
+ Two Number Digital Channel

Thank you AnnaWu, i had not done this Sound Blaster it works well with some sobs

Now I'm trying to start Win95, without the recognition of the mouse is a difficult, now I'm trying with AMouse

[Toni Wilen]

"Emulation config" text box in Expansion panel can be now used to override CPU type. (This will change later)

A2386SX only with following CPU options:

- i386DX/xx
- i486SX/xx
- i486DX/xx

Where xx is clock rate: 16, 20, 25, 33 or 50 (i486DX only). CPU speed is part of CPU model string because PCem CPU configuration works that way and I am not going to change it.

PCem Dynarec (JIT) mode is not yet available.

Excuse me Toni, what are the optimal values in "x86 Bridgeboard CPU Options"? i have set the maximum value +1.000%

Thanks Toni.

Monochrome display adapter emulation is ok.
Color graphics display adapter emulation is NOT ok.

In the end, somehow I managed to install Win95 on A2386SX, but I can not go on because I do not have a Mouse

So some kind of mouse support is needed (amouse is max windows 3 compatible I think).

How would this work in real hardware? Does it require serial board + serial mouse? PS/2 mouse support also should be possible. (But if real hardware can't do it, it isn't that sane solution.. But it is also most likely simpler than serial mouse..)

Yes Amouse it does not work with Win95, if i understand correctly HERE they say it could work instead the MS-DOS Mouse

[AnnaWu]

The AMouse3.drv (comes with Janus 2.1), will operate under Windows 3.0 and 3.1. I think is not for Windows 95.

nvram file missing. Can't 100% duplicate without it.
And what does "not ok" exactly mean?

(and this does work with old version?)

Yes, it is working with older version (without PCem core).
