So I have noticed one small issue. When my system boots to Windows 98SE, it also calls Orphus.bat during the boot process. However it seems like something is slightly off with the sound card. The volume is louder then expected and the PCMIDI out sounds off as well, even though its played on my SC-55 …

Hello! You need to install PCMIDI manually. Go to add/remove hardware. Choose it manually. Music Quest then MPU401 compatible. You may need to change Adress and IRQ manually again. Yep that was it, had to re-add it :) Works like a charm now and OPL3 goodness in Windows 98!!! Love this card!!! Still …

I got the new drivers setup. Great to have OPL3 in windows now :) That part is working great. But I now have issues with the MPU401 PCMIDI out. In Windows when I try to play a midi files and send it to my SC-55 it actually is locking up my computer and I sometimes have to do a hard reboot. It seems …

Dark Forces still locks my computer when I try to use GM or GS on port 330. FM works fine. Maybe you haven't changed them, but both of the MPU settings should remain at their defaults when you have a PCMIDI-enabled board: MPUBase=disabled MPUIRQ=disabled If you really want to use both MPU-401 …

Some more updates on the Orpheus 2 LT setup. For the most part things seem ok, but still struggling with a few issues. 1. Midi actually seems working well for the most part. Midi goes out the 1/8" jack on the back of the Orpheus 2, to my midi devices like the SC-55 then back into the Orpheus 2 LT, …

Hi, I was lucky enough to get a Orpheus 2 LT[...] On the top left side of the CS4237 chip there is a jumper - move it to other position and all the init issues will be gone About PCMIDI, there is no problem with Dark Forces or using it under windows. Due to the nature of your system I assume IRQ2 …

A little background, I have it installed on an Asus P3B mother board (2 ISA slots) with a P3 1.4Ghz Tualatin and running Windows 98SE. I have an Audigy 2 in there as well, but it isn't really meant …

Ah ok, so no way to know. Wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something. Was hoping their own software might show it as they mention they have a way to throttle based on temps but they don’t seem to share that with the OS 🙁

Anyone have one of these Powerleap Slotkets, are they supposed to report the CPU Temperature. I have a Celeron 1Ghz chip in it right now, everything works fine it seems. But I can't see the CPU temperature, figure that's a very important metric that should be passed through I would think!

Wow, thank you so much!! I guess I have some options to think about.. 1. Re-solder a new header on board, although probably will be space limited and might not fit a bigger modern standard. 2. Cut the old wire and the noctua wire and use the connector they include (didn't know that's what some of …

Anyone know what these fan headers are? More importantly where to get the male connectors that go into them. Want to use some Noctua 40mm fans on some old GPUs (like pre GeForce 5). They are mostly 40-50mm 12V fans so power wise will be fine. But the connectors are the trouble! 050B8B57-723F-4B9B- …

Thanks all, EVGA seems like the best option I can see due to the split 24 pin plug. Also like the modular design so I can leave off cables like pcie that I don’t need.

Looking to get a new PSU for a Intel BX build I am working on. Thinking it will be with a P3B-F 1.04 Mobo with a P3-500 (although tempted to try the P3-1000 but that would be overkill I think). I found this one on Newegg, https://www.newegg.com/corsair-rmx-series-rm550x-cp-9020197-na-550w/p/ …
