Thanks so much, Snufkin, turned out it was a simple as that! I had misread the top set of jumpers upside down, and the top most layout in your diagram was correct in this case.

I'm going to need to edit the title of this topic, as I think this is down to a faulty display. I can tell the display elements are all working, and that the switch itself is working, it's just not handling the switch state, somewhere in the display. I will take it to my friend to have it looked at, …

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try and get the display off and test the relevant traces for connectivity with my multimeter.

Ok, So I have a PC with a turbo display on the case, and an ASUS P2P-B board. The motherboard obviously doesn't have any headers for a turbo display, as it has no need of one. I do not know what model of display I have, as I cannot find anything that looks the same online. It doesn't seem to be one …

First test done with no cpu, ram or anything else connected, no pops or smoke, so far so good. Next we added the P2 back to the system, along with some ram, the machine posted as normal, and the bios reported a VCore of 2.0V (this is correct for the P2 350). Then came the big test, swapping out the …

I recently acquired a PC with an ASUS P2B-B Rev 1.01 running a P2 350. The board revision is 1.01 which officially supports processors requiring a minimum of 1.8V, so basically no Coppermine CPUs. ASUS made a Rev. 1.02 of this board that does support 100mhz fsb Coppermine processors, so I was …

I can't speak for others, but I only ever see that unexpected midi status message, when I forget to slow my system down before playing something. So it's 100% a speed thing for me, as I never see it when I turn off caches etc.

This is all really interesting, and the tinkerer in me wants to setup the Aztech/AWE configuration again to continue experimenting, but I know I won't, the Orpheus is just a better solution for my setup, and i'm kind of glad this issue cropped up, so I finally got around to learning how to properly …

Couple more questions: Is there a way to mute the output? I have two midi devices, daisy chained, and I want to selectively mute the one I'm not using. Is there a way to rotate the display output? My screen is displaying so the buttons are above it. Not a big issue, just wondering.

Can I just say, that the Orpheus is awesome! I've just managed to set mine up, alongside an AWE64 and a Vortex 2. The Orpheus has a Dream blaster X2 on it, and the orpheus' hard mpu connected to my Sound Canvas and MT32L. And it all just works! 😆

Thanks for the tip, good suggestion, and I had already tried that too. There's something going on between these two cards, and I can't figure it out. I've taken the nuclear option, and switched out the Aztech for the Orpheus, and that works perfectly with the AWE. The Aztech has now gone to another …

Thanks, but already done all that, that's why this is a mystery, by all account the resources should be free for the AWE. For detail anyway: The Aztech is fully working, and has it's resources reserved in BIOS. No other resources are reserved in BIOS, so PnP cards should have access to them. All …

I'm having the same exact issue! Same cards, with the exception that my awe64 is a value. Unisound and Windows can configure the awe64 without conflicts, but the damn thing refuses to pass any DOS diagnostics, or play any digital sounds, for the same reason you stated. So, you're not alone here, but …

I'd say if you crossed that gravis button layout with the shape of the powerpad pro, that would be the pad I'm trying to remember. I'll see if I can find search up Saitek game pads.

Back in 1998, I used to have a PC gamepad, but for the life of me, I cannot remember who made it or what it was called. I am pretty sure it was a lot like the interact PC Powerpad Pro, shown below, but it had a POV hat and a throttle-like slider in the button area. Retro-InterAct-PC-Power-Pad-Pro- …
