Unisound, if I say wrong things correct me, in the case of Creative cards equipped with EMU chips, it is able to configure only the "soundblaster 16" part, i.e. digital audio and FM playback (which depending on the SoundBlaster/AWE 32 model, can be based either on OPL3 -> AdLib compatible or on …

I can only congratulate you again for the work done: beautiful graphics! And then what about the front of the PC: all the components seem to have just been installed and the plastics seem new. The components are top notch, in short, truly an exceptional build! Thanks again for sharing it 😄

as mentioned, G450 is a simple die shrink of G400 That is impossible. G450 added a second ramdac and surely they wouldn't spare transistors on an unused 128-bit memory bus while they were at it. I'm not a techie, but I remember several articles from the time referring to the G450 chip as a G400 …

Scuse me, but Yamaha YMF 7x4 is a chip with OPL3 core that work on PCI bus, is correct? Create a sound card around this chip whit a wavetable headline and A3D component, will can be the next step (no add-on card, but a real sound card) 😁

My experience with PCMidi, Orpheus and MK8330 cards is one of simple joy 😄 In particular Orpheus II and MK8330 (complete with pcmidi add-on) are incredible cards. These boards have everything I wished a board had back in the day. The question arises: what more could you ask for in the future? 😁 ( …
