Has anyone tried the Blasterboard on windows 3.1 (standard mode) using the Soundblaster 2.0 drivers. When I tried it, the drivers crashed out with a general protection fault. I am just wondering if other people have seen this fault occur. This works perfectly fine with a real SB 2.0. I need to …

New firmware version 2.0 is available for download -- the link is on the first post of this thread. This firmware is a result of learning the original SB2.0 firmware and follows the original code logic in many ways where possible. Some bugs were fixed, some code rewritten completely and now it is …

I found the Problem already. it has nothing todo with Flux or the not so well looking Solder Joints. The Flux is not conductive under this conditions. The Flux is handmade from rosin, 2-propanol and acetylsalicylic acid. The Powersupply of the computer is defective and this caused weird Problems i …

Hi, finally had time to solder it.. but i don`t get it detected as SB, Adlib works just fine. Checked for solder bridges etc. and found nothing :/ ICs are correctly in position too :/ Any Ideas what i should check first ? The board is not working correctly because you did not finish the assembly - …

Bad ones will put out a lot of noise, which I try to eliminate with linear regulators in the first place. As long as measurement of real hardware will stay within ISA current specs - I will not consider adding DC-DC converters. For sure. Linear regulators are the way to go in analog and mixed audio …

Yes, I wrote earlier that they recently added a separate option for that on the order page, so looks like it is working now.

Re: SB Pro or SB 16 PCM audio in a microcontroller?

I believe they use an integrated 8051 for bus interaction. Would it be accurate to say then that the SB 1.0 / 2.0 used a microcontroller as the "DSP" and discretes for ISA bus logic, while the SB Pro and the SB 16 use a microcontroller for bus logic and a custom IC for PCM audio and mixing? Sb …
