So, if I bought bare PCB with bracket, to get all functions of the PCB I would need : 1) Creative CT4520 donor board 2) 32MB SIMM module 3) Soldering equipment/skills Did I missed something (like caps/ICs/transistors/diodes [elements not present on either AWE donor board or SIMM module]) ?

What is this card? It's very odd. Is that ATX? And why does it look like it has very few traces?

Do they sound different? And if you don't mind me asking, could I get a sample of Into Sandy's City?

You'll need an external Voltage Regulator or an Overdrive, I think there's a voltage regulator on Amazon, one sec...

DX4 requires 3v, and DX2 is 5v, so they SHOULD have different jumpers. Then again, the closest thing I have to an Aptiva the the IBM PS/1 Tower Model, so no idea, sorry

Yes, modding one of my PS/1 mini-towers is exactly what I want a PS/1000 motherboard & riser card for. :) I've never seen many PS/1000's for sale, but I know that one was on ebay less than 5yrs ago. In fact, I might be able to do this with just the PS/1000 riser card..... I could install it on the …

I have wanted a PS/1000 for years, and I haven't found any evidence of them being sold anywhere on the internet in the past 3 or so years. Good luck. You'd be better off trying to mod an IBM PS/1 like I'm trying to do with mine.

Looks like a generic Crystal based card. For a bit more the same seller has a Aztech card that has real Yamaha OPL that some users around here seem to like alot for DOS. That one is on my watchlist, didn't realize they were from the same seller! I notice the Crystal one this post is about has …
