Any thoughts would be helpful.

Thanks !!

Nevermind -- I was able to rebuild the second disk from other available sound card archives. ZIP file has been sent to Louis for archival.

Hope everyone had a nice holiday !!

Lorenzo/Luis,

I recently acquired a ChipChat and need this 2nd disk image, do you still have it? It never made it to Ardent-Tool and it's not on ChipChat's website.

Any help would be appreciated!

Looks like the self-extracting disk files were called CCSOUND1.EXE & CCSOUND2.EXE: https://web.archive.org/web/19970103121340/http://www.chipchat.com/ChipChat/USA/ChpChtSB_SupportFiles.html
There were on a customer-only FTP though. No sign of them anywhere on
the internetz.

A stripped down version of the official ChipChat website is still up: http://www.chipchat.com/index.html
with some of the pages modified earlier this year: http://www.chipchat.com/ChipChatDirect.html
Maybe they still have the files?

Might be worth asking if everything else fails...

So, it turns out there was a game from EA (?), "Cl*se C*mbat". Also a
podcast called "Chipch*t", also a column in a computer mag with the same
name.

Again, our tech overlords protect us from the past.

Reading through CC1.zip, and all OS drivers (except AIX) are there. DOS, Win3.1/95/3.5/4.0, OS/2 3&4. Reading the install stuff only mentions
"DISK-1", perhaps cc2 / DISK-2 is samples?

To use IRQ-5, you need to make the following modifications:
a. Change @5150.adf file replacing "int 7" with "int 5"
(you must re-configure your system after updating the ADF)
b. DOS AUTOEXEC.BAT, change DOSMIXER statement from "-7" to "-5"
c. Win31 SYSTEM.INI, change [auddrive.drv] from "int=7" to "int=5"
d. OS2 CONFIG.SYS, change device=ES1688DD.SYS from "/I:7" to "/I:5"
e. Win95, use device manager to change interrupt from 7 to 5
f. WinNT, re-install and select interrupt 5

of "Band in a Box" by pgmusic, and ESS' own "AudioRack".

Install fails without the second disk. It asks for Disk2, which you can fudge your way past by making a disk.2 file on the floppy... and after that you see that setup needs CTL3D.dll and then fails.

CTL3D.DLL is a standard Windows library for 3D UI elements.

We could probably rebuild the second disk from a scratch, should all
other efforts fail. But it would be nice to have the "real deal"...

Yeah I was thinking of doing that, but I am not sure how to compress the files to the format the installer expects. It looks like its the classic expand... I assume I can use deflate?

Nevermind -- I was able to rebuild the second disk from other

Hope everyone had a nice holiday !!

Lorenzo/Luis,

I recently acquired a ChipChat and need this 2nd disk image, do you
still have it? It never made it to Ardent-Tool and it's not on
ChipChat's website.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
-Lionel

Looks like the self-extracting disk files were called CCSOUND1.EXE &
CCSOUND2.EXE:
https://web.archive.org/web/19970103121340/http://www.chipchat.com/ChipChat/USA/ChpChtSB_SupportFiles.html

There were on a customer-only FTP though. No sign of them anywhere on
the internetz.

A stripped down version of the official ChipChat website is still up:
http://www.chipchat.com/index.html
with some of the pages modified earlier this year:
http://www.chipchat.com/ChipChatDirect.html
Maybe they still have the files?

Might be worth asking if everything else fails...

Wow just woke up! I'll keep looking, but I've crawled wayback machine on the chipchat site and didn't get lucky. I will scour the internet for CCSOUND1.EXE and CCSOUND2.EXE. I also pinged Lorenzo on facebook.

Install fails without the second disk. It asks for Disk2, which you can fudge your way past by making a disk.2 file on the floppy... and after that you see that setup needs CTL3D.dll and then fails.

which you can fudge your way past by making a disk.2 file on the floppy... and after that you see that setup needs CTL3D.dll

Messed up that last cut and paste, meant to have a link to a screenshot instead of repeating a sentence, lol. This is where setup dies, https://imgur.com/a/pHWWXjK

CTL3D.DLL is a standard Windows library for 3D UI elements.

We could probably rebuild the second disk from a scratch, should all
other efforts fail. But it would be nice to have the "real deal"...

Yeah, it's probably the usual expand-compatible compression. There was a

just LZ77 iirc.

yeah i just did that with compress.exe So the next file needed is A:\winapdll\auddrive.in_ not sure where to grab that........

The best part is the shitty installer has no retry option when it can't find a file..... I have re-run the installer probably 60+ times now... rebuilding this disk... for likely just Windows 3.1....

The SETUP.EXE binary is only for Win 3.1. See the "Re: Other installs?"

Tomáš how did you get the Setup.inf from the setup.exe? I mean I am sure I could google it.... but if you know of good software that I can use, please let me know. I might look into manipulating the install and perhaps sharing the results.

Sorry for the late reply.

I simply used a hex editor to open the executable - the INF contents are appended at the very end. Try editing the text in a hex editor and see
if the setup complains. Maybe if you remove the INF section completely
it will try loading an external file instead?

I'm dealing with a bunch of stuff right now, and can't look into it
deeper... sorry.

I looked into my hard drive and fund ChipChat folder.
It contains folder "cc1" and folder "Disk2". The "Disk 2" folder is only 566KB.
It contains 3 folders and 1 EXE file.
1) AUDCLIPS folder
2) AWAV folder
3) MIDI folder
and WINAPPS.EXE

AUDCLIP folder is consisted with 3 sub folders
-- MUSIC folder, contains QUEST1.WA_ , QUICHITS.WA_ and START.WA_
-- PHRASES folder, contains YCOMMENT.WA_
-- SOUND folder, contains BIRD.WA_ and FROG.WA_

AWAV folder 14 files
-- AE00000A.AUD to AE00013A.AUD

MIDI folder contains 5 MIDI files
-- BANJOBOY.MID, MAPLRAG.MID, MINWLTZ.MID, PARIS.MID and PASQUINA.MID

Most of option floppies I brought here got damaged because of high humidity. I'm not sure if the disk 2 was saved before
it got damaged or I dug out some remanings. I mean I'm not sure if the disk 2 folder is complete or not.

If you guys think the "Disk 2" folder will help you, I may zip it and send it to Tom.
Before you ask, I can't find the adapter itself. I might have sent it to somebody together with PS/55s.

What a wonderful place this News Group is!
Many thnks to you and said "someone" on the PS/2 FB group.
If you send Disk 2 image in FDK or EMT to Tom or in any format, he'll upload it to the Ardent Tool page so that evryone who need it can down load it easily.

FYI
I realized that gmail doesn't accept attached file containing EXE file even if it is zipped.
You need to rename .EXE to something like ._XE before you zipp .

I have a copy of the Disk 1 and Disk 2 that I received over Facebook from someone on the PS/2 FB group and Winapps.exe seemed to work fine. I'll share them soon!
