http://dosnetsynth.com I am thinking about getting this off of DOS and onto Linux and redoing the website so it's not built on deprecated html poo poo from the 90s, though maybe that defeats the point I dunno. Thinking maybe an Intel Atom cpu\mobo combo, and one of those PICO ATX power supplies. Are there any other options I might not be thinking of? Or does anyone know of any GPIO->PS2 bitbang implementations for Raspberri PI so I can put something to send a ctrl-alt-delete remotely? The loving thing has no reset button so I can't just use a relay and a driver chip on the PI. SSH IT ZOMBIE fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Apr 3, 2016 |

It needs a PCI slot, for the OPL-3 synth...USB midi adapter would work for the SC-55

i got an old Alienware X51 on craigslist for $300. it is low power, about 280W or 330W depending on what generation, and has a PCI-e slot. it's also pretty small. but probably bigger than you want if it's not a full size graphics card you're putting in.

look for "business desktops" on newegg. lots of small stuff with PCI slots. but they don't use PICO and there's nothing particularly modern about them or Raspberry Pi-esque, they're dumb crude towers mostly. now if you could figure out how to load stuff on the Roland without the PCI you could use just about anything

you could get a Mac Mini with an external PCI card attached via Thunderbolt. the Mac Mini is energy star rated

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoSF4ZoDuRI https://github.com/gtaylormb/opl3_fpga I was super entertained by this. I'm wondering if it might be reasonable to do a mapping of the sounds to general midi and tack a MIDI port onto it...could do away with weird rear end old sound cards.

for the OP, there were some seagate nas boxes from ~2007 that were ULV via x86 boards, with a single pci slot, usb, vga, and lan on them you can probably grab one off ebay for the cost of shipping

you lose a lot of the nostalgia factor if you don't run it on genuine hardware that said, get something like http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-T5740-Thin-Client-2GB-F-2GB-R-w-Expansion-32bit-PCI-Riser-PS-Lot-Avail-/ If you dig around on craigslist I'm sure you'll find someone giving away old thin clients, and some of them have a single PCI expansion which should hopefully be enough. If you need more I guess you could have a dedicated system for each, they use like 10 watts each while idling. http://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/hp/t5740/ has more info about that thing from ebay

Oh by the way you might want to look at something more recent that supports IOMMU, that way you can map the PCI card directly to a KVM/Virtualbox virtual machine running dos or whatever and script it from the host.

El Generico posted:Holy poo poo this thing is awesome Nah it doesn't play random songs when nothing is queued. I don't want to add it because some songs will crash the dos midi player, I have to find which ones and blacklist them. Higher probability of that happening if stuff is just playing randomly. This is actually a piece of garbage and I'm probably going to have to move it to Linux - still real hardware though, with the OPL3 chip. It's QBasic 4.5 shelling out batch files to download files off a site, and then shelling off batch files to call various dos programs to play them. More often then not it's one of the programs that hangs.

Every now and then someone loads a midi to the site and I catch a glance at a weird animation on the SC-55, it was kind of an esoteric feature a few things used for novelty. Hell yeah, do it.

if it is a half-height PCI card (or you're willing to deal with some janky crap sticking out) I've had good luck with the startech PCIe-PCI adapter cards doing the job http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Express-Adapter-Card-PEX1PCI1/dp/B0024CV3SA/
