paypal is not a bank, they shouldn't charge at all. If they did that to me I would close my account.

It looks nice, congratulation on finishing it. i would not go to buy one because of the pricing, as cards with opl3 could be found easily still :) But for anyone else maybe its good choice, specially if you limited on isa slot, don`t have acpi and want intelligent mode mpu too! Matze79 and other …

Wow! I can even have 2 MIDI addresses even without the PCMIDI add-on ? If so, I am both impressed and overjoyed . Thank you . 2 addresses only with PCMIDI Addon. For example you can have 330 on PC midi and 300 on Crystal MPU. For midi IN there is only 1 input, so both addresses will receive the …

A quick question . Without using the PCMIDI option, is MIDI output directed to both waveblaster header and the external MIDI port ? In other words, can you still use the external MIDI port if the waveblaster header is populated (muting the waveblaster card in sound card mixer, as needed) ? You can …

This card was made with all considerations from crystal cs4237 datasheet. But we took a step further, by using an extra opl3. Audio inputs and outputs are filtered and carefully amplified (on output) respecting also cs4237 characteristics. Board is 4 layer, with the attention of not ever cross …

Very nice, congratulations! I am a bit confused about the PCMIDI addon. How do things work if you have 2 MPU devices active at the same time? Is it meant for composing music using MIDI? You have 2 midi devices, you can select 3 outputs to be intelligent or crystal. Midi in is on both inputs, …

For me there are few sound cards with this chipset that are good. I vote for terratec profimedia gold 16/96 and Maxisound 64. These are good sound cards. Most cards from this era were cheaply designed, but these ones I mention make this ESS shine as it should!

CPU is rated at 1.6v core voltage, so it should run. I tried motherboard with pentium 233mhz , it works fine. Even with and k6-3+ works fine if I use 2.5x multiplier. It makes 208mhz.

I used 2.5x multiplier with fsb 100. My ram is ok. Now if I set CPU at 1.8v, it will not work. Only with 2.0v. it's an atz CPU. Don't know why. Do I need to set j11? On manual says not to close.
