All analogue routing is isolated from that. There are no crossing lines between analog and digital, they are …

Re: Orpheus II soundcard thread

Re: Orpheus II soundcard thread

About ram on board , we thought about that , but we would have to buy dram individually or buy simms and desolder, making the card more complex and more expensive. There was a risk also to get bad ram, and debugging it and fixing would be daunting. So we decided to use a simm socket for 72 pins that …
