Great memories of this card! I was part of the beta driver testing team on 3dSoundSurge back in the day. I received the Seismic Edge 705, Acoustic Edge and the later Sonic Edge (CMI8738 based with Philips/QSound custom drivers) free for testing purposes. A few members of the testing team, myself …

Thanks, Pickle! That would be amazing! Also thanks to dionb for the link. I think these are just the DOS drivers though. I didn't download them since Pickle seems to have the full Installation CD plus updates so I'll hold out for that. I'll keep an eye out. Appreciate the help everyone!

Thanks RepoMan. I'll use this as a last resort. I'm still holding out hope that someone has an image of the installation CD. I kind of want the whole bloatware experience! It looks like Philips just took their archives offline within the last month or so....

It seems Philips is no longer hosting drivers for their Philips Acoustic Edge PSC706 sound cards on their websites. Every link I've tried is dead and nothing was archived on the Wayback Machine or Internet Archive . Vogons Drivers does not host these Philips drivers yet either. I'm leery of …

Great to hear you got it working, Dosler! Also thanks for uploading the FX/CD BIOS. This should serve as a nice repository for any else looking for BIOS copies. Another card saved! I love happy endings.

I'm currently importing one of these from Canada! I made the decision to purchase the card based on the work being done here!!! I can't wait to mess around with these DOS drivers and can provide feedback if needed. Great work being done here. Thank you.

I will try that as soon as I get a moment. I have tried the card with the 2.40, 3.10, and 3.19a BIOS's which were all set to defaults after flashing. The HD3850 did not POST with any of them. A few things to note: 1) PS/2 ports do not work on my 775Dual, so I am forced to use USB. Any chance this is …

I just acquired a "new to me" HIS HD3850 AGP card for the sole purpose of benching it in my 775Dual-VSTA. I'm running the modded 3.19a BIOS. When the card is installed, the system will not POST. All the fans come on, but the system hangs and has to be hard reset. I first believed the HD3850 to be …

OMG! I had the same thought while lying in bed last night and sure enough....the -12V pin on my adapter was recessed in the connector and not making contact!!! All of this over a pushed in pin on my AT/ATX adapter. Well, it really is the best case scenario as this means that there is no reason to …

OK It's been a while. I just haven't has the time to dig into this. I found that most of my sound cards are fine with the exception of the (2) Ensoniq Soundscape Opus cards. I tested them all in a different room with all new hardware and all seems to be fine except the Opus cards will not allow the …

I am at my wit's end. I have a situation where every ISA sound card I use is becoming damaged. I noticed the pattern after realizing that 3 of my cards were no longer producing FM or MIDI Music. Sometime Digital sound worked. I tried isolating the problem after that, and at this point, I have …

I second the probability that the EPROM was inserted in reverse. I accidentally did that with one I used for XTIDE on an ISA Ethernet card and it was red hot afterwards! EPROM was dead, but the card was fine. Hope it's as simple as replacing the chip. Would love to hear back. Curious to know if a) …

I do actually have the SAA1099 chips and had them installed last night while testing. They were set aside for a QuickShot Sound Machine QS803 (SB 2.0 clone) board that is also in need of a small repair, but looks like they will now live in this Stereo F/X card. I didn't have them in for the picture. …

It's ALIVE!!! All seems to be working well in the limited testing I did this morning before work. Last night, I was extremely disappointed when no sound was being produced and I thought there was no hope for this card. While sleeping, I had an epiphany and remembered that the 486 board I was using …

Thanks. I will have all the replacement caps sometime next week. Unfortunately I'll be out of town during that time and won't have a chance to work on the card until I return. I'll report back once I have a chance to test things out. I can hardly wait!

Yes I see now that the 93C46 8-pin SOIC is U24 to the left of the lower CMS socket. Thank you for that. Also note that I just ran a comparison of the 32KB .bin files between what Keropi provided and what I found on the MAME ROM sites and they are, in fact, identical! This is beginning to look …

Thank you both for the information. I already have a 27C256 programmed with the .bin file I found on the MAME download sites. I just didn't want to attempt to do anything without some type of confirmation. Also don't necessarily want to try it until I populate the tantalum caps back onto the card. I …

After years of reading through this invaluable forum, I finally worked up the nerve to ask for help on one of my personal projects that actually hasn't already been covered (I hope). I have an ATI Stereo F/X ISA 8-bit sound card that is in need of resurrection. I received it missing its 28-pin DIP …
