Re: New sound card project: AWE64 Legacy

Exactly, that was the logic behind our pricing. Bare PCB prices include their part of R&D costs, and the assembled board is the bare PCB price plus the cost of parts plus CT4520 plus the work of a contracted assembler plus a small margin (as an incentive for you guys to buy bare PCBs and assemble …

ok, im waiting ;-) I think that's a misunderstanding. I understood you to mean that you currently have no manpower to finish the cards. That should only be an offer on my part to accommodate you. I didn't want to pay a bare card or bare price. Patrick Thanks! Well, that could be the option if we …

Bad news - our assembly process has to be postponed till June due to unexpected personal issues within the team. Good news - bare boards (both RC1 and final ones) are ready to be shipped out, so if you dare to assemble it yourself, you can wait no longer! Can you please provide the ROM dumps for …

Hi guys! Sorry for being absent for quite a while. Unfortunately my project has been cancelled even before it really took off. There are several reasons for that, one of them being that this endeavour would be beyond our current skills and knowledge. So, I'm extremely happy that this thread is still …

Thanks for your interest! We've been quiet for some time but the works have never stopped. So, to sum up, AU8810 has a different package than AU8820 and AU8830. So we had to bin that reverse engineering work and start everything from scratch. We've completed the SQ2500 reverse engineering, got a …

Hey guys, Good news - the boards have arrived, we'll start assembling them soon, so we're on schedule to start orders soon. Regarding your questions: So, if I bought bare PCB with bracket, to get all functions of the PCB I would need : 1) Creative CT4520 donor board 2) 32MB SIMM module 3) Soldering …

I'm also interested in an assembled unit, when these will be available. Stay tuned! Also, from your pics I noticed an array of holes (maybe for pins?) mentioned as DBG Just out of curiosity what are these for? Those are used for the in-circuit firmware uploading for the ATMega MCU used for the …

a) We haven't identified any. Asked quite a lot of people, nobody has recalled any titles. However I admit that they may exist, albeit not so well known (therefore, not so worthy). We've tested quite a few games (the notorious example is Wolf), and all of them go to 0x388 even if SB is chosen for …

Thank you guys for your support and kind words! Your patience and collaboration has also contributed a lot for this project to come true. Several comments: Awesome news, I’d take a fully assembled one. No pre-orders yet for assembled boards, stay tuned! Really looking forward to getting my hands on …
