Nope unfortunately, I feel so bad for not remembering its name. It could go up to a resolution that had the 1024 number, so I guess up to 1280x1024 or 1024x786... The quest finding that connector name continues... Aren't you just thinking about single-link DVI-D? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ …

Desoldered old TEA2025, put in socket, put in new TEA2025. Still the same :( Some curses followed, intense staring at the Snark Barkers design at GitHub. And then remembering the words of a wise average man: ... the only spares I have are from the same dubious cheap eBay batch ... Soooooo replaced …

I put sockets for all ICs in these projects; did that with my Adlib and doing that with my SnarkBarker.. It's best to not bet on getting lucky in life. ;) The TEA2025B spec sheets says to not socket it (I think to transfer heat to the PCB). 2.6 Stability A good layout is recommended in order to …

I've been having sound issues with my Snark Barker :( Adlib sounds horribly distorted. CMS is really soft but sounds okay. I've swapped the two Yamaha chips with known working ones and they're not the problem. I've tried to record a video: https://youtu.be/LAKTmvur8fw https://youtu.be/QCW3RdDJzm8 …

This might happen with corrupted CMOS data. Resetting the CMOS with the jumper should clear this, but that doesn't seem to work in your case. Are you sure the procedure was executed properly? Does your board have a Dallas RTC with built in battery, or a separate coin cell battery? If a separate …

A couple of revelations: 1) The SBC board only seems to work with 512kb E(E)PROMs. 2) The first EEPROM I used turned out to be "One Time Programmable" 3) When putting the POST card in one of the ISA slots with the indicated side facing the PC back side smoke arose from one of the components (pulled …
