photo_2025-01-30_21-35-38 (2).jpg What if you added one volum knob (with a press function) on the bracket. And added electronics that controlled the volume trough pressing in the volume knob. No press = master volume 1 press = output no 1 volume 1 more press = output for no 2 volume. and so on. I …

Could the Picomem Audio edition have a software controlled Mixer. With physical line in from CD, Speak, Jack etc.

Would it be possible to add other audio connectors in parallel with the Jack ports? E.x: Jack input no.1 having a PC Speaker port : 4-pin Molex KK connector, and maybe a resistor? Jack input no.2 having a CD-ROM connector input - also a 4-pin Molex KK / 4-Pin MPC Connector, or sometimes another kind …

Does the pro version let you go composite CGA even without hooking up the actual composite cable to the monitor/adapter? The SCART->RGB cable works great for hooking up my SNES to the 1084S (with first SNES to scart, then scart to RGB via the cable), but of course SNES outputs analog graphics to …

No, the P2 variant of the 1084S that I have does not support digital RGB, only analog. Well if it accepts (analog) RGB, yes the CGA2SCART Pro should work just fine. The easiest would be to tap into the RGB+Composite directly on the PCB - by soldering. Then you dont need a SCART to 9Pin DB adapter. …

I have used a 486SocketBlaster and installed an AMD 486 DX4-100, and set the jumper to 4x on the 486SocketBlaster and its now registering as a 5x86 134Mhz. Not bad upgrade. Quite happy with the speed I am getting. In SuperScape Benchmark 1.0c i got from 37 to 57 In SpeedSys I got from 24.71 to 49.76 …

couple notes: - on your pictures of 2 not working sockets one has regulator soldered wrong way = smoke - you said you didnt like them sticking out so you resoldered it flush by pushing down. This made regulator short to the socket PCB = passing input 5V to output You have a keen eye. The VR that is …

I got the 486SocketBlaster to work. Have been running doom and quake in demo-mode for about 30 min. Looks stable. Only with a heatsink - no fan. My Am 486 DX4-100 is actually an Am 5x86 133 if i put the Jumper to 4X mode. This is the Motherboard i am using: https://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards …
