The Fractal Pop Air still has room for 2 5.25 drive bays. It also scored very well on GN's reviews for basically everything else. I just put a Pentium 233MMX system in a Pop Air. The metal is thin, as you’d expect at the price point, but it looks great and I think the concealed 5.25” bays at the …

If you're willing to experiment, the attached tool will make the changes necessary to enable the PC speaker functionality, so that you don't have to wait for the next release. Confirming this works, thank you. I look forward to the next ORPHINIT release (though no need to rush, take care of …

One other observation as I get this thing going. On default initialization, I am getting a constant static noise. If I mute the Synth output on the Crystal chip, the static goes away. edit=SOLVED. Hardware problem. See below. resources: PCMIDI: 330h, IRQ 9 Crystal: 300h (MPU-401), 200h (Gameport), …

Is it possible to enable S/PDIF output in Windows 9x? I can get ORPHINIT to do it of course, but I think I must be missing a setting in Windows.

Sorry for the thread necro, but I wanted to say these models worked great for me. Bambu X1 Carbon, Orcaslicer 1.6.1. .4mm nozzle at a .2mm layer height. Stock “strength” profile and Polymaker ASA. Lined up perfectly for my GA-586ATX going into a modern Fractal Pop Air case.

Great quality. The real selling point (at least for me) is all sources output via SPDIF.

Oh look at that - I have a scheduled delivery today for an Orpheus II. Many, many thanks KuroHouou for going through the initial struggles for the rest of us. Really stoked to get this card going. (edit=oh my gosh, wrong person. more coffee required. standby. 😃)

Thanks for your efforts. All of your projects have been absolutely awesome. Loving my I, II LT and very much looking forward to dropping the full-fat card in my Pentium MMX build (on a Gigabyte GA-586ATX). I feel like that should be the right spec or time frame to really maximize the card - PnP …

Thanks for starting this thread. I hear you. I have actually been collecting for a similar amount of time, 7-8ish years. At first, I did not want to admit that it was a "collection". I don't have nearly triple digits number of computers, but I've got way more retro gear than I can realistically …

I'm...not sure there were any updates, per se, to Windows 3.11. Do you mean automating installs of, say, WinG, Win32s, TCP/IP and the like?

Alright, after some slight frustration I got this card fully working, and wanted to share my method. Windows is fairly straightforward (I am running Windows 2000 on the K6-III+ machine that the AWE64 Legacy card is in), so the inbox drivers were sufficient. DOS is a minor challenge with the addition …

Windows Update (2000, XP, 2003) Now that much has changed from my original post - you will need to do some additional work to get either WU, and/or Windows Activation working.
