I guess if 3dfx had had you as their hardware engineer back in the day, Rampage wouldn't have been delayed, NVIDIA woukd have gone bankrupt, 3dfx would have taken over Intel, and we would have got neuralink like a decade ago, preventing the Covid, the war and reaching the UN goals already.

Quick lame question, will there be any option to inject audio into the HDMI out? Same thing for the V2 HDMI adapter.

I think VOGONS has already developed enough to incorporate in a new hardware R&D contractor.

That is absolutely awesome. Love those overkill period incorrect solutions based on some original components and pushing them to ridiculous limits! I'm absolutely after one of these once you release it!

Hello guys, I'm totally stuck. Just wrote a post in the Fortex thread (Re: Fortex, the A3D & XG/OPL3 accelerator (Vortex 2 + YMF744 combo sound card)), if any of you can help me out, that would be great. Fingers crossed.

Hello guys, So, we're stuck with the bridge settings apparently. The legacy part of YMF744 doesn't work in DOS at its intended resources (0x220h / IRQ 5 / DMA 1 for SB, 0x388h for FM). Using the hack from this thread (https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=61256) I've managed to get the OPL3 …

I've come to the same thoughts about IO windows as PCI2031 mentions this capability in the datasheet...

It's an ASUS XG-DLS system with 440GX chipset, no other bridges apart from the north bridge and south bridge (PIIX4E) + the PCI2031 in question.

LEDs don't respond. YMF744 without any bridges works totally fine.

Hello guys, I'm kindly asking for your help as we've got totally stuck with our Fortex project. So, Fortex is basically a combo of YMF744 and AU8830 chips behind a PCI-PCI bridge. For our project we've chosen TI PCI2050BPDV and Intel 21150BC bridges. The project idea was to use the Yamaha part for …

Ohhhh that's bad. We have bad news here too. Both chips don't function properly in any of their legacy modes (despite working perfectly fine natively in Win9x), no SB emulation, no FM, no MPU output, neither in pure DOS, nor in DOS in Windows. I believe it's due to some misconfiguration of the …

Good eye there ;) Thanks for asking, I actually hoped to get this request. As the vast majority of users will be using it in 5V slots, we decided to key it as such, as another protection against wrong placement (as main chips, components, and headers may actually inspire such wrong placement). …

No, it will be regular PCI only. If anyone is interested in taking on the project for any further development once we release it, please PM me and we'll see.
