CONFIRMED WORKING!

My programmer and some GAL chips arrived today, so I got busy and programmed the JED file onto a couple of GAL16V8D chips, then stuck them and two SAA1099 chips into both of my Sound Blaster 2.0's 😀

You do require the CMS driver here: http://cloudschatze.googlepages.com/CMSDRV.com which isn't included in the Creative downloadable driver pack, but once that's done the CMS support is functional. Tested Loom and Monkey Island 1 so far, works perfectly, although the sound seems a lot more filtered and nowhere near as loud, as a real CMS/Game Blaster.

Whats the type of gal you are using?? Because i cant read the specs what written on it.

Lattice GAL16V8 15LPN

so DK it works fine on your rev0 1350? or you got fooled like me, hearing CMS and then not bother checking the SB part? 🤣

I don't have that card any more, I gave it to SquallStrife.

I thought that card was faulty. It worked with Adlib and CMS, but the digital never worked, even before I put the GAL/SAA1099P chips in it. When I gave it away the CMS had stopped working too.

I have a rev 3 card not in the picture, both the rev 3 and rev 4 cards work perfectly, CMS, adlib, digital.

Where are y'all getting your SAA1099P chips from? Two places I've enquired at haven't returned my emails, and I don't fancy paying $10/chip on eBay.

SquallStrife , I got mine from www.utsource.net and before that eBay for 10+$/piece

I got my SAA1099P's for 10$ shipped from UTSource.net. They arrived pretty quickly from Singapore too, under 2 weeks.

I don't check this page for a week and theres 2 full pages of comments... I saw earlier mention of my issues with the chips on my card. The issue was me, I thought the CMS jumper needed to be on when it was supposed to be off (I didn't see the OFF in CMSOFF). I removed the jumper and it works fine. No issues with Adlib/Sound Blaster functions either.

I'll take a picture of my card and look for its revision number in a bit, probably the morning as it's late here 😜

Will be interesting to see if you have a rev3 or rev4 card 😀

New GAL chips have arrived!

Please see the Amibay thread for info.

Note that price has changed.

I also ask people to post in the thread at Amibay, rather than PM me here, as its easier for me to keep track of everything in the one thread and I don't want to be seen to be circumventing the 'no trading' rule here.

I have confirmation that a REV 2 card works perfectly with these GAL chips. It seems that only original version cards without a revision number have an issue.

just a small update, Chuck(G) notified me he received the rev0 card I sent him, all we need now is to wait patiently and hopefully he will find out what is wrong 😀

Is there already some information about that REV0 card?

nope, not yet... I assume Chuck(G) hasn't look at it yet, he has some more work before that... and personally I am not bugging him about that since there is no real hurry and he is infact doing a favor to the community 😀
If it wasn't for him then noone would have a clone chip 😁 so let him take his time

it seems some advancement was made on the problem , look here: http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/showt … v0-CT1350/page3

Has anyone tested the chuckg gal he posted here ???

http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/showt … v0-CT1350/page4

Hope this can solve the issue !!!

Regards.

I will try it on my rev 3 and 4 cards; but they already work with the existing JED files so I don't know if it will prove anything. I no longer have a rev 0 card to test with.

With the GAL removed, that SB card you gave me works OK.

If you burn the new image to a chip, you could send it this way and I could test it.

(Also, I could send you back the presumably working GAL that I have)

With the GAL removed, that SB card you gave me works OK.

Both FM and digital sound?

PM your postage address and I'll try to program a chip this weekend with the new codes 😀

Yeah, both. 😀

I have these two cards:

Happy to test if it helps!
