Fujitsu LIFEBOOK C1020 - Compatibility with Sound Blaster Pro
Posted: Thu Jun 10, 2021 5:54 am
Hi,
I've got weird laptop - Fujitsu LIFEBOOK C1020. It's not that old - mine is actually from 2008 or '09, however it was released in 2001 or '02 and interesting thing is that it has old stuff like a parallel port, serial port, PS2, infra red, svideo and floppy drive, but it also has USBs, firewire, builtin modem, PC Card (It even has WiFi card in slot) and even SPDIF through optical fiber, so I started wondering wheather I could use it for both early Windows XP / 98 games and DOS games.
I do not care about black frames due to the higher resolution, because it has fairly big screeen however I do care about sound and what's interesting, that page states that it has sound card compliant with Sound Blaster Pro and AC'97, so does it mean that it will have sound with DOS games?
P.S. Yea, I know, just test it. The problem is that it can only boot from HDD, DVD and floppy and it boots correctly to XP from HDD, however both DVD and floppy drives are broken and I don't want to start working on it when it eventually will not have a sound.
