Ok, I have the GUSar now soldered... I know this is the ArGUS thread, but since I won't be getting one, I figured I am going to get the GUSar. ;) What is the exact software that I need to run these clones? I never had a GUS PnP back in the day, only the original GUS... PNPMAP is mentioned above -- …

I figured as much. No hot ICs so thats a good sign at least. This was my first time doing SMD soldering which is most likely the culprit for the problem. I'll just have to re-flow everything and hope that fixes the problem. Will give the R11 change and IW dump a try as well. I've tried the card with …

Thanks for this, but I'm already using PNPMAP /f GRAVNOCD.ROM which is what is giving me the "InterWave card not found error." I have also tried to dump the IW rom as the guide suggested and I get the error "Can't get the InterWave base port - check ULTRASND environment varable" I've done the best …

Just booted up my K6 machine with the ARGUS in, no magic smoke so thats good! Sadly I'm getting the "InterWave card not found" error when I try to flash the card. I've tried disabling as much of the IO as I can to make sure as many IRQs are free and its all set to PNP in the bios. I'm a bit stuck …

Order has been placed for the brackets (x25). Sadly they are only a small shop and don't carry any plated or coloured Stainless Steels so the brackets will be silver, sorry for getting anyone's hopes up about brass brackets. Here is the list of interest as it stands now please check it and let me …

You won't do any engraving like jack assignment etc., will you? No engraving just plain, I'm afraid hard1k. 6 of the 10 / 9 of the 10 parts / 13?! of the 10 parts are accounted for as of now, I'll keep this open for a day to give people some time to respond. If there's greater interest could go up …

Hi guys I'm getting a small quantity of brackets made by a local place that does Water-Jet and Laser profile cutting. They will look like this: ARGUS_RC1_BK REV2.jpg 20200605_115732.jpg I've attached a vector drawing scaled 1:1 to this post if anyone wants to check it over before they get made. Also …

I really love your setup, really great machines, nice drafting/workbench setup on the left, those attic windows in Europe are really well made and bring lots of light in. Nice space.

what a comfy room... that apricot system is a thing of beauty, too bad the CRT doesn't quite match ^^ This is the screen I received along with the Qi from it's previous owner (13"). It is in dire need of a service, as the picture goes yellow intermittently but returns to normal with a Fonz style …

Hi all, me again. Thanks TheMobRules for the help with the BOM. Now the only thing I'm still struggling to find a suitable replacement for is the Headphone Amplifier chip. I have a few what I think are suitable but with a limited knowledge of audio circuitry I don't know for sure if they are ok to …

This is great news, I'd rather not use utsource if I can avoid it as the postage is insane right now. EDIT: alas TDA1308 is also hard to come by but would OPA1692 be suitable?

I think I've found a suitable substitute for the audio jack, It's the same model with out the N suffix (CUI SJ1-3543) just has a threaded barrel and nut but apart from that is identical. https://www.mouser.co.uk/images/cuiinc/sm/sj1_3543_SPL.jpg Also I need some advice on the EEPROM chip; the …

Thanks for the low-down 640k!enough. Component hunting is going well except for sourcing the raised audio jacks (CUI SJ1-3543N). Seem to be sold out with no intention of restocking on all the UK traders I can find. I'm also having trouble finding a pin compatible alternative with the right height. …
