portable book386 + 5.25" floppy drive

received book386 floppy cable few days ago. took me many days of tinkering to get this to work. then found a post on vcfed , makes me realise i need to "flip" floppy connector vertically, and i figured out i can use two floppy cables to do that

Book386 + 5.25" floppy drive works !!

book386 floppy adapter + 34pin extender + floppy drive cable + 34pin extender + floppy drive cable

why two floppy cable? because the way the connection flips. it is not enough to turn one floppy cable connector the other way round

the second pic is from vcfed forum which made me realise i need two cables

trouble getting mouse(touchpad) and networking to work in windows 3.11 wfg

hey guys. this is the new book386, successor to the pocket386.

the touchpad is a serial "mouse" on com2

running dos mouse command works with dos games and programs like edit and qbasic

but mouse doesnt show or if it does, it wont move in windows 3.11 wfg. it does move during windows installation

second problem is networking. i can get it all working, but as soon as i set the resolution to 800x600, the networking seem to "freeze". have anyone experienced something like that? is it a memory addressing conflict or something?

in the gl.conf, in cgi-bin location, i added

location /cgi-bin {

proxy_hide_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin';

add_header B-SERVER "HAHA" always;

include fastcgi_params;

fastcgi_read_timeout 300;

fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;

new synth day : Amyboard

initial test:the juno and dx7 patches sound good, reverb is surprisingly good,

can't wait to learn more about this thing especially for loading multisamples and maybe re-creating casio CZ style synth

for $29 it is no brainer

easiest to use vintage samplers in 2026

hi guys. im looking for vintage sampler rack (maybe keyboard too if it doesnt weigh a ton)

purpose is to do basic sample import , so i dont do actual sampling directly.

couple of waveforms, assign to key/note/range etc...

so which one in this day and age should I get? something that i can easily swap the floppy with standard PC ide floppy gotek and copy files, and the file format should work in modern computers

this blows my mind

guys. i was trying this thing with my pc DAW

yes it could do the usual stuffs like other audio interface. record from multiple inputs, then output to Main output

but the thing is, it can do so much more

from my DAW

u can play something to sidekick's channel 1-Left, then at the same time DAW track 2 record back from that channel. so in total you really get 6 separate mono channel recording, if u don't count the Main L and R, which u can also record

not only that , the usb audio is mixed with analog audio input

channel 1 you can set to output to Cue only or Main only or Both. why?? so you can do pre-fader aux send . so u can have 100% wet signal from external effects. this feature only exists in large mixers. the cheaper mixers can only do post-fader aux sends.

im still getting my head around this thing.

im curious on what trick do you guys know!

for my main purpose, i will use this on stage as mixer for my two keyboards + phone and process the sounds 100% wet using external effects.

EP-136 questions

hi guys. im looking for something small for my keyboards and something that also functions as interface

question 1 )

from one youtube video , it mentioned about Channel splits to control each split setting

so can i pan Right of channel 1 to Left? the main out will only hear sum of Channel 1 L+R only on the left speaker?

question 2 )

can i send Left side of channel 1 and 2, or Left + Right side of Channel 1 > then output to external Effect, then from the external effect > mono back in to the EP136?

question 3)

if yes, can I set prefader aux send? meaning the main outs will only hear audio from the external effect return (100% wet)

question 4)

can I set mono audio to pan Center ?

thanks in advance. sorry for asking so much questions but im genuinely interested in this unit, for the portability, versatility and price

what mixer do you guys use?

hi guys. im looking to get a small reliable mixer for home and also gigs.

3 keyboards, 1 mp3 player. FX return to one guitar pedal. that's all i guess.

which mixer do you use and what makes you choose yours ?

something i worry about is wobbly power connector. not good for stage.

external effects processor

hi guys.

just wondering about something

do u guys use any external effects for your synths that already have built-in effects?

while i love my 90s keyboards, the only thing i don't love is the effects.

lacks the beautiful reverbs you get from latest gears

what effects do u use and why do u like it?

i want to avoid using a pc/ipad
