Krom, I think he is asking for a general way to take the info stamped on the top of the chip that you are referring to and do a lookup. AceCombat, you can google it the same way you can any part no./type, etc. There are sites that provide specs based on that info such as the following (using your SL...

seeker3, all of the Version 1.5 Descent CDs that I am aware of have missing music in the single player campaign after Level 7 (this is the problem that Duper is referring to). If you want to know the basis for the problem and a patch for it, check out this thread: http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtop...

I'll say up front that I am a single player-type player myself, but I was wondering if those of you contemplating a tracker have considered more general trackers that already exist.

KoolBear, I did get your email, and I did send a reply on Monday morning. Hope you got it. Pumo, I make no claims that my lists above are comprehensive or have all of the "must play" levels, so no slight was intended by any omissions. Descentbb.net has useful "sticky threads" in ...

The key thing to remember is that even though PD.com is gone, most of the files are still available at dfiles.de.

After re-reading the descentbb.net thread listed in the preceding post, I started to wonder if any of the gameport pins were shorted in the Logitech gameport-USB adapter as the thread participants discovered was the case for the Microsoft adapter.

At the time deepthought made the first post I had the controller sitting on top of a machine under my desk, so it wasn't really much trouble to make the resistance measurements.

And if what both of you are saying is true, then it reflects a fundamental policy change with regard to customers, and I don't recall any sort of notification about it.
