I just checked under my bed and found an old sock. I was hoping for a sound card )-: hahaha:) Do you know why I stack sound cards under the bed?Because my wife hates these things and vows to throw them away one day. So, I put these things in my old house, of course, only under the bed, along with …

I have seen similar weird sound cards based on the vibra16s. For example this thing: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/xm8AAOSwKwlkwRwS/s-l400.jpg It is for a siemens nixdorf FD210 All in one system. Judging from the strange bracket on your card, it seems it came from a special application / …

Today I dug out the pile of sound cards under the bed. They have been there for almost twenty years.It feels like I'm 30 years old again :) I find a card that's a bit special. I can't find the brand, and there's an interface I don't recognize on the top of it, with 40 pins - what is it used to …

All revisions are functionally same, the only difference is the type of crystals used on them. Every other part and their connections remains unchanged. The best way is to turn one into a TB60XG but my hands are a bit too full to do that for the time being lol These cards do suffer from bad …

I suspect that the word "computer" may not have too long a life. For the generation born after the 2020s, their lives and work may revolve around AI.When they get old, they may miss their complete mobile phones, applications, and games, including chatgpt.Studying hardware components will not be …

How about these two cards?I purchased it from a local IT forum around 2005. I guess it is an OEM product made by YAMAHA for NEC.How can we maximize their effectiveness? Filename IMG_20220512_203501.jpg File size 1.65 MiB Views 220 views Filename IMG_20220512_203538.jpg File size 301.06 KiB Views …
