Thanks for the info!
Re: Allergen free solder wire ?
Posted on 2019-03-19, 07:55
First you need to figure out what kind of flux your solder contains. Many solders will use a rosin core. If that is the case, there are plenty of rosin free solders available: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/solders/4364926/ And if it uses rosin free flux, try using rosin flux based solder instead. …
Silpheed with MT32 and SB SFX?
Posted on 2019-03-18, 21:34
I stumbled over a thread (https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=44523) which mentions alternative sound drivers for Silpheed. Stock game comes with PC speaker effects. I tried using those drivers, but all I get is OPL music. I took from that thread that somehow MT32 music and digital …

1. to run MUNT on the PI and have a MT32. 2. for fun and giggles. Aka learning. 3. To run MAME on the PI and have a Yamaha FB-01/IBM Music Feature Card :) 4. To run ScummVM on a Pi connected to a waveblaster header inside a PC with a fraction of the Pi's computational capabilities. Edit: Maybe we …

I think he wants to buy, not sell.

But why the extra card reader? The micro SD of the Pi should be plenty?

Since Dreamblaster et al are so cheap I think this project would be useful for two things: 1. to run MUNT on the PI and have a MT32. 2. for fun and giggles. Aka learning. Maybe this would be nice with a zero or a compute module?

Yes, I have a bunch of the blank Keystones. And usually if only round holes are needed, I am fine. But the Snark Barker (and matze's new design) require a slot for the volume wheel. That is a bit more difficult...

That is something that eludes me completely. How does one go about reducing noise on the PCB level? I remember one video by Dave from EEVblog where he simply added two layers to an already two layer board, simply by adding one pure GND and VCC plane, iirc. That supposedly reduced emissions as well. …

For absolute newbies there is also Boxer. It lets you drag and drop package DOS games. Hoewever I think it uses an older DOSBOX version. But it might be good enough for many games. I used to use it before switching to vanilla DOSBOX. http://boxerapp.com/

Re: History of the SAA1099

I have no idea. Just searching for the history of the IC I found a bunch of videos about speccy expansions. So could be a recent development.
Re: Where can I get an IO shield for a Baby AT board?

I used a step drill and a wood block for my shield. Works quite well. Go slow and cautiously. Maybe apply some cutting oil.
History of the SAA1099
Posted on 2019-03-14, 10:00
I know that the Philips SAA1099 was used in a number of machines: the SAM Coupe, some ZX Speccy expansions, some SGI machines, and of course the Creative CMS and early SoundBlaster cards. The ICs I got the other day have NXP branding. However Philips didn't spin off NXP until 2006, so I wonder: how …
