SwinSID should be fully transparent - so it should work perfectly. (except for the paddles when in 8580 mode - if that feature is emulated and someone writes software for it, as the 8580 needs slightly different values for the caps there to go the full range [the values on the SSI-2001 are meant for …

The formats used are outdated/crap tho. Just wanted to take a quick peek on what exactly the GAL is doing, since that might be the main barrier. Ordering a PCB is easy, most parts are easy to source and the level of soldering required is advanced beginner friendly (not bloody beginners, yet one …

I hope we get over with this discussion, there is no point continuing it. What is done is done. Exactly that. Just a small addition: Relying on other people's ethics, is just not very smart.~ I don't think anyone would have expected that those boards don't get sold for a higher price sooner or …

It's a clash of ethnics - not of rules. But I guess you won't understand that. I'll leave it up to amibay to take further action and have another person to blacklist for my projects 😀

You soldered boards of which you're not sure if you can fix them? Awesome! Wanna buy a perfectly working replica? $400 - to counter you wanting to profit from an otherwise free project 😀

I'm in contact with the amibay admin that deleted my other comment and there's an internal investigation ongoing already - maybe something positive comes around. Even tho I'm not too hopeful to be honest. Personal opinion: I hope the last comment is ironic - I'm already feeling bad about my approach …

Just go ahead 😀 I've said what I wanted. If you're serious about working this out (even tho I have _very_ little interest to do so - as said it's your perfect right and I have the perfect right to have my opinion on that), my PM box is open.

Asking for 3x the price you paid on a project I started and worked on ... yeah, people profiteering off the work me, Fagear, bristlehog and Codekiller put into it was our main intention. Especially when offering the project at virtually no money earned - yet a decent bit of expenses. Quite …

The only major advantage of the ACE is that you can disable the AdLib ports - something you can do with any InterWave based card. Also no sample rate drop.

PAS8 + softMPU = SCSI & MPU401i on 1 card would be my recommendation, quite hard to come by tho. If you don't need the CMS support (as indicated in your wish to use an ET4000 (do those even exist for 8bit systems?) + SB 2.0 as those are extremely unlikely to come with CMS support) you could also …

Most soundcards have an integrated joystick/midi port as that used to be 2 individual cards at the very beginning 😉 PAS cards also are sound + scsi cards. Slightly offtopic: My ARGUS project has an integrated -5V feedback to the ISA bus as well as headers for a bus expander.
