Thanks, now I see the similarities. 😁 Very low-budget soundcards I agree, however the prices (on Ebay Germany) for obtaining them are ramping up, to a point where it is litte too spicy for my taste. As a standalone wavetable module, the prices can go even higher. 😪 As long as the design isn't too …

QDSP QS700, it's equivalent to the very first one listed there: https://www.wavetable.nl/wp-content/uploads/Ast-Advantage-Wavetable-Card-DB-IIA-REV-1.1-Front.jpg it may be rare in this specific form, idk, but like I said it's not really that special ^^, you can find many sound cards with a QS700, …

nothing special ^^ just an opti branded QDSP, I think I have the almost exact same combination integrated on a card, but it's nice to have it on a module to play around with. hardware40_66b.jpg An Opti QDSP based one is not listed on wavetable.nl nor waveblaster.nl, this combination might be quite …

According to seller it will turn on although I'm not sure what's the correct voltage (build sheet on the bottom says 220, plate on the back says 115), so I'm waiting for more info... Wow, what a beautiful beast this is. …

I got lucky for an SB Live! CT4620 with the audio extension CT4660. Never had the extension back then.

I also bought new old speakers in the box: Quadral SM 480. I have no clue if they sound any good, the box says that they have 20/30 watt (DIN) and 480 Watt (PMPO). They are huge (30cm), but don't weight much. Back in the day this was a bad indicator. I remember all speakers I could afford were cheap …

Was at a local thrift shop today and got this A4Tech WinEasy 4D Mouse with 3 Buttons, 2 wheels and 1 ball for 2.50 €. It is working fine and after searching for the right drivers, also the second wheel works as intended. It looks quite dodgy for me with those two wheels, but it feels very well while …

Deadly Premonition, while using DPfix to extract some textures and use the neural net Real-ESRGAN to upscale them. It works for some textures well, for other not, but it is a lot of work and fun. No further plans with this, just want to see what this neural-net can do. It's also interesting to see …

Now, two cards I haven't seen before. A Voodoo Rush and a Midas3. Pretty underwhelming cards for Win9x gaming but nice to have in my collection. Voltage regulators are missing on both of them. They are in otherwise good condition. I never had to replace voltage regulators before. I have no idea …

-Geforce 3 Ti 500 - this wasn't cheap but seems in very good condition and I was never able to afford one back in the day. I ended up with a Leadtek Winfast Ti 4400 as a birthday present a year later though, but my eye has now turned to sourcing either a 9700 Pro or a 9800XT as this card's …

Got a best offer accepted on a PCI card which had untested in the title and about 4 times in the description.

It has the not very useful CSP chip in a socket and only seems to have only the type 2 of the hanging note bug, that's a plus. https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/Hanging_note_bug It is interesting that only the address can set with a jumper, …
