Sorry for a bit of offtopic, but would anyone be interested to undertake a spinoff project of a tiny LPC YMF719 soundcard module for Kontron 886LCD-M/mITX motherboard that has an LPC header? I'm offering one such NOS motherboard for the project.

Sure, but won't happen till late March or April - it's going to Shipito forwarder, and later move on to Argentina, and our customs is a PITA.

Ok, just sharing my solution. Found a guy on ebay who was selling some common cheap Xeon 600 in opened box, asked him to check if the sticker was still there (as his warranty leaflet was still sealed), he kindly confirmed that to me, so I just bought the whole thing for the sticker. Totalled some 25 …

Hi! Have you sourced the sticker you was after? I'm in desperate need of the same one.

Oh my, finally! Been waiting for it for the last 15 years! As an idea for improvement, would there be some possibility for integration with the WP32 Panel? 3,5" ideally.

I guess if 3dfx had had you as their hardware engineer back in the day, Rampage wouldn't have been delayed, NVIDIA woukd have gone bankrupt, 3dfx would have taken over Intel, and we would have got neuralink like a decade ago, preventing the Covid, the war and reaching the UN goals already.

Quick lame question, will there be any option to inject audio into the HDMI out? Same thing for the V2 HDMI adapter.

I think VOGONS has already developed enough to incorporate in a new hardware R&D contractor.

That is absolutely awesome. Love those overkill period incorrect solutions based on some original components and pushing them to ridiculous limits! I'm absolutely after one of these once you release it!

Hello guys, I'm totally stuck. Just wrote a post in the Fortex thread (Re: Fortex, the A3D & XG/OPL3 accelerator (Vortex 2 + YMF744 combo sound card)), if any of you can help me out, that would be great. Fingers crossed.

Hello guys, So, we're stuck with the bridge settings apparently. The legacy part of YMF744 doesn't work in DOS at its intended resources (0x220h / IRQ 5 / DMA 1 for SB, 0x388h for FM). Using the hack from this thread (https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=61256) I've managed to get the OPL3 …

I've come to the same thoughts about IO windows as PCI2031 mentions this capability in the datasheet...

It's an ASUS XG-DLS system with 440GX chipset, no other bridges apart from the north bridge and south bridge (PIIX4E) + the PCI2031 in question.

LEDs don't respond. YMF744 without any bridges works totally fine.

Hello guys, I'm kindly asking for your help as we've got totally stuck with our Fortex project. So, Fortex is basically a combo of YMF744 and AU8830 chips behind a PCI-PCI bridge. For our project we've chosen TI PCI2050BPDV and Intel 21150BC bridges. The project idea was to use the Yamaha part for …

Ohhhh that's bad. We have bad news here too. Both chips don't function properly in any of their legacy modes (despite working perfectly fine natively in Win9x), no SB emulation, no FM, no MPU output, neither in pure DOS, nor in DOS in Windows. I believe it's due to some misconfiguration of the …
