It would be great to have an adapter cable for these. Specially for the builds where you want an X-Fi but want to keep the case all in beige.

another idea occured to me, I could replace the K6-2 with my Pentium Classic 166 My friend has this same board and I want to try this as well. But wherever I look, I can´t find confirmation that the Socket of this Mobo will work with Pentiums. Here https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/acer-v75m# …

Aw too bad about the intelligent mode. The video said it did have that. (at least, that's what I assumed he meant by 'full mpu-401 midi interface with no hanging note bugs' but maybe that's not what that means?) I also interpreted it that way... no worries. BTW, did you solve your problem? What …

OrpheusIII will happen in the future - but it will take some time as it needs to be something good ;) I can´t wait to complete my "trilogy" of Rev0 …

glad you got it going! and yes, games with gus classic support will load the "classic patches" from disk so the 4MB GS bank is only for windows usage (it would be possible to be used in DOS games too AFAIK only problem is that there is no such DOS game... so it is a lost opportunity sadly) Yes! …

sadly I have no advice to give you on win9x drivers: they should just work if the issue is only the 4MB set then this is easily rectified: in the pre-installed ULTRASND.ZIP in the site the 4MB set is also installed. It is located in the \PATCHES\ subdirectory: GSFULL4M.DAT and GSFULL4M.FFF inside …

Update: OK, I got the GUS PND disc and installed most of its contents. But when I try to install the 4MB patch set under Win98 it says "IW.EXE cannot be modified without INTERWAVE variable set." Any ideas? a reboot should fix this as it would activate the variables set by the installation Thanks …

Under win9x you do not need either unisound or orphinit or ultrasnd.zip for things to work... You should install the crystal 9x drivers and the Gus PNP drivers for 9x and use the CD to install the extra files needed Perfect, thank you! Just one question, what CD are you referring to? Win98 or the …

the most effortless way to get things going for the GUS part of OrpheusII is to use ULTRASND.ZIP as everything is pre-configured - so I suggest you give that a try ;) Thank you for the reply Keropi! I did not get the ULTRASND.ZIP file in the first place cause on the official Orpheus II page it said …
