My C2D with PCI-E Radeon X550 shows IRQs when I specify 10, but it only works in pure DOS, in Windows the machine will show no counting and then reset shortly after as it seems to upset all the other devices that IRQ10 is shared with. On the other machines IRQs do count and there's no crashes in …

Right, I forgot there's that socket in the way. You could take out the chip, then use a wire strand from one of the 80 wire HDD cables and stick it behind the socket pin then put the chip back, the wire should stay in place very well. http://www.tmeeco.eu/BitShit/PLCCwire.jpg Allowing custom IRQ set …

PLCC is lot easier to deal with than the QFPs I had to mess with. It will be very easy to solder a wire to a pin and very easy to clear out any bridge (desoldering braid/wick makes it super easy). Lacking a pad like on my Trident cards makes things incovenient, I had to shove a wire directly to ISA …

Just connect the signal and it will most probably work. Those trident chipsets had all sorts of talk about MCA modes too but that doesn't matter at all in reality. Hard part will probably be connecting a wire to one of the chip pins directly, I have doubts there's any nice test pad to solder onto …

So I finally tested out the program and here are the results : * C2D machine with PCI-E Radeon X550, no IRQs. BIOS assign IRQ to VGA setting didn't help * Pentium MMX machine with PCI Mach64, no IRQs. BIOS has no options and I cannot look at the card to see if it has its IRQ jumper set (machine is …

So is this a bastard card? It is a Labway made card, and most definitely not a Yamaha made thing. I am not seeing a chip package with such features in any of the Yamaha datashits, closest would be something with 0.5mm pin pitch but that chip has 0.63 and all the markings are off too (no logo, no YM …

All my ISA and VLB cards have a jumper to enable or disable interrupt signal on IRQ2/9 line on the slot, and on most the jumper is set to no IRQ by default. I'll run the program soon on my various hardware. Some of my PCI cards have IRQ jumper but PCI has no mechanism for signalling IRQs to specific …

AM29F032D is a 32Mbit (8bit wide) and 5V, in TSOP40 and SOP44

Pins 97 and 98 on YMF715 and YMF719 are FM/i2s DAC sample/hold capacitors, you can increase their value and get darker output that way. On YMF711 and YMF718 the equivalent are pins 95 and 96. Stock capacitors are 1000pF on most cards I have looked at, you'll want to try double perhaps. For best …

DB60XG (aka XR712) and XR385 have very loud output, over 5Vpp which will clip most sound card inputs and has the theoretical ability to even damage them. Ideally you reduce the gain on the module to unity, matter of changing two resistors.

You only get it with the VxD driver that you can find on Yamaha's site or few other places. I never got anything working with the WDM drvers outside FM and MIDI. http://www.tmeeco.eu/9X4EVER/GOODIES/Yamaha/O … -SA/95V2343.EXE

Is it normal then that the same monitor works with the vlb card that also has tseng labs et4000 series chip? The monitor also works fine with even older trident ISA card. All the video timings are under software control, dependent on particular video BIOS used (or possibly driver in Windows, if it …

This is a problem with the monitor not accepting video timings particular to the video mode the card is outputting. I have one Samsung which preduces similar result with a number of resolutions from old video cards. In theory it is possible to hack the video ROM to adjust the timings a little bit …

I really like the idea used for brackets, I'll possibly use the same method for one project of my own. This card looks really nice ~

Those capacitors are DC offset removal caps on final output from the amplifier chip. The larger the capacitance the better bass response will be if used with passive speakers. 16V or higher for voltage and 220µF and higher for capacitance, with bigger is better for capacitance (but pay attention to …

These are factory installed fixes, used to correct some problem identified post assembly. Highly inconvenient for the manufacturer as they're applied by hand to possibly thousands of devices until next revision is made with the fix incorporated into the design.
