Started to switch out the sound config on the Via C3 Machine. This config is Keropi MQ MPU401 with Dreamblaster X2 EWS64s with 16mb Ram AWE32 CT3900 with 8mb ram and Trust Korg Wavetable module. I really need to pick up a nice external mixer instead of using the line in's! https://i.imgur.com/ …

I don't own this board unfortunately. I just came across it while browsing and thought of this thread. I've pointed B24Fox in the right direction.

I fired up this machine today as it's been a while to find this was still an issue I had forgot about! Has any Ali V owners experienced this behaviour? If so how to you resolve it?

I picked up a Voodoo 3500 TV a few weeks back for £15. It was listed as a Samsung TV card but I instantly recognised the photo so snapped it up. Unfortunately it didn't come with the TV/VGA cable so I had no way of testing it. https://i.imgur.com/ANBRspUl.jpg As luck would have it, a cable showed up …

Picked up this unusual sound card recently. Its a Bluepoint Corporation Sound FX 3000. It has some daughterboard on it which handles midi. It claims to do GS and MT32. I tried Sam N Max in MT32 and it didn't sound too bad. GM sounds pretty primitive and some of the instruments are pretty week. Non …

Picked up this 1.1ghz 100fsb PIII. Small nick on the side of the cpu but it works fine. Nice chip for a BX system.

This is the board I mentioned earlier. I actually run it pretty much fully loaded, running at 140mhz fsb. It runs great. Sound cards work fine. Its been the most easiest to work with motherboard, in regards to it just working. I guess its just finding boards that work well. The Abit BX133 is also a …

I've tested a AMD Mobile Athlon 4 1600+ on my board and it posted but the Multi was wrong and there is no way in the bios to set a different multi so just left it.

Adding Turtle Beach HOMAC to Korg NS5R

Hi Guys, Even though the Korg NS5R has a Wavetable header to add daughter boards, I read the PSU can be kind of weak on them and certain boards can cause issues. I was thinking of adding my HOMAC board into it. Has anyone done this or know if it won't cause issues? Thanks

I believe the Gigabyte BX Series of boards are all very similar, I use a Powerleap BIOS on mine for the VIA Support. This is mine (The 1st pic was when I was originally using a GF2 before swapping to a V3)

Very very similar to my build! Mine is based around a Gigabyte GA-BX6C on a 2.0 MSI slocket. The gigabyte board is great because you can use SoftUSB using Rayers usb program and combined with kalohimal's CPUSPD tool makes it quite flexible. I haven't gone through mapping the CPU fully yet mind. I …

I have the same 1400s you linked in your OP. I run mine on a DFI GCB60-BX/C1 which is a Intel BX Chipset. It runs correct voltages. It detects the correct clock speed but shows the fsb and multi wrong on post. I run mine at 1470mhz (140x10.5) Runs pretty fast.

Has anyone populated the internal missing output header on the MX300? Looking at the board it looks to be missing some circuitry for this header. Filename Output.JPG File size 87.35 KiB Views 120 views

Any plans to support the Terratec EWS 64 cards? The S uses a AD1816 and the L and XL use a Crystal 4236. All of them have the Dream SAM9407. I think Unisound should already activate the card, but minus the 9407 synth. Yes, It's planned for a future release, no ETA though. If you have those cards …
