They're probably all properly coordinated as well. 😵

Recent GeForce 2 GTS vs Kyro II comparison does not specify how much VRAM both cards have. Most likely it's 32mb (GTS) vs 64mb (Kyro II) showdown, where heavy tests just demonstrate VRAM bottleneck instead of pure performance difference between this cards. To Kyro II's credit, doing more with less …

I agree, I just wanted to correct your comment on LLVM which wasn't nuanced enough. The note on ASM output was to provide some comparison of where an assembler would fit in the pipeline i.e. how close to raw machine code you actually operate. Were you talking to me with this reply, or ynari? Don't …

I don't believe so. Creative cards either have four jacks where two are the line and speaker (amplified) outputs, they have a standard jumper block for enabling or bypassing the amp (as in CT41xx Vibras), or (like my CT2770) they omit the output amp entirely and just ship a line output. Some info on …

You can bootstrap Memtest86 straight from DOS as late as v4.2. Later versions may be possible with LOADLIN, although I haven't tried myself. http://www.memtest.org/download/4.20/memtest86+-4.20.exe.zip

Modern compilers have this kind of flow: Source language -> Intermediate representation (abstract machine language) -> Native machine language (ASM can be output here as well) Both GCC and LLVM operate with this type of high level structure, although LLVM holds to it much more rigidly. LLVM doesn't …

Ok, that's not too bad, as long as multiples of one are available. 😀

If they did you could program a search tree into an Arduino and map it out. Check response on each pin for all six states (high, low. high rising edge, high falling edge, etc). The gate count on the PLD will tell you how many levels you have (at maximum). The only requirement would be identifying …

What would the benefit be over a resistor pack or discrete ladder? The simplest upgrade would be an opamp buffer on the output which would stabilize the performance of the DAC and present consistent output levels regardless of the characteristics of any downstream input you use. You wouldn't want …

You've tried dd, but that isn't nearly as capable as using "cdrdao read-cd". https://miketeo.net/wp/index.php/2008/05/10/c … s-on-linux.html

It's only 20 pins, so it should be possible to rapidly map it.

It's a mild overclock. I ran a K6-2 on a TX-97 board for years at 75mhz with no ill effects.

I was thinking mainly of parts availability. As you said, an angled 72 pin SIMM slot is difficult to source.

There are options for harvesting data off the parallel pins. A powered parallel port DAC would make a very interesting project.

Only reason I haven't put out a list yet is because Eagle's feature to compile a partslist really sucks and needs a lot of manual tidying to be useable. Parts for the ARGUS aren't exactly critical tho. The angled SIMM slot as seen on both prototypes (Type: 73824862) is the hardest one to get. All …
