Re: Orpheus II soundcard thread * LT board now available *

Just received my Orpheus II yesterday. I used Unisound v0.81b to configure both the GUS and the CS [...] unisound does not fully support OrpheusII currently - the option to enable the external OPL is not working as it's different than Orpheus 1 (which is fully supported) Any idea when Unisound will …

Maybe the Isa bus is overclocked? Ok, I'm going nuts with this issue. I found out that the Bios has a "Engineer Mode" where you can change the AT Clock. It was set at 7.159Mhz. I changed it to CLK/4 and it seems to be working. But now, My AWE32 CT2760 which has jumpers to specify the MPU401 address …

Just received my Orpheus II yesterday. I used Unisound v0.81b to configure both the GUS and the CS to run at the same time. Can now switch between GUS, OPL3, External MIDI or Internal Wave Table without rebooting or re initializing the card. Suggestion for future Updates. 1. Creative Music System 2. …

Does your MT-32 display any errors when sending sysex? Not that I can see. You check the video I have attached. I thought the game would pre-load sysex before it starts to play music. I think the system is just too fast for the HardMPU or the the card as an issue. I tried in another 486 DX2/66 and …

what about trying a different serial cable? Is the baud fixed on these hardmpu cards? how are you slowing down the system, like disable L2 cache? your sound sample does sound like the custom samples are not working. The usual signs are the fireworks, dinging bell when the ships shoot, and a horn …

Hello, I am having a weird issue with HardMPU v1.1 and MT32 (Old version) in Wing Commander 2. When using the HardMPU, some instrument are wrong. It's not a clipping noise, just the instrument playing sounds wrong. If I use the SoftMPU with my sound card or the PCMIDI from my Orpheus I card, I don't …

This is a known error. It is clipping. I think it was designed for new version of MT-32 It's not a clipping sound, it's the wrong instrument playing for some reason. I've installed an Orpheus I and the issue is gone. The problem seems to be the Hard MPU. I wonder if there is a Firmware update …

Hmm. It is weird. Both boards have the SIS496 chipset. Finally done. Transferred the AOpen AP43 in my case and the Plextor is working. I now have my perfect 486. - AOpen AP43 with 512kb cache @15ns -486 DX2/66-S - 16MB Ram @60ns - Sound Blaster AWE32 w/32MB RAM and Roland Sound Canvas daughter card …

The AOpen AP43 supports PIO mode 4. I could not find this info for the LS-486E Rev C1. Are there some PIO settings in the BIOS? I am not sure. I can choose Mode 4 or Auto, but neither work. I think I am going to swap the boards since the AOpen as an extra ISA slot and 512kb of cache instead of …

Wait, you wrote the Plextor drive worked on another 486 computer. Which mainboard had/has the other 486, where it works? It work's in my AOpen AP43 motherboard. I think I will just swap the motherboard. I really want the plextor in my retro build. It's just that I hate the AMI Bios on the AOpen... …
