I had to force Windows 98SE to use the correct resources for both the Crystal and Interwave parts of the card since the PnP BIOS in my machine had done some weird resource allocations. Be sure to use the Orpheus branded Crystal drivers from the website, the ones that come with Windows don't seem to …

Hi Keropi. I would like to have the Orpheus LT, especially now there is no more MK8330, but i am still annoyed that the board is longer than the ISA connector, because my specific usage would be to put it in my A4000TX where there is zorro slots inline with the ISA slots. Is it possibile to know …

I don't think YMF289 has low stock, more likely it is greed behind it, just like what happened with the chip shortage where a simple FPGA chip was 1000e Many old chips are now having prices between 20~30 eur, give it some time and after no sales prices will drop 😉

good job AppleSouce the point of the insulator in the A1200 is not for RF reasons anymore - you NEED it to insulate the bottom of the montherboard from the bottom tin RF shield piece that is needed to do a proper motherboard installation in the plastic case of the system. The top RF shield part ( …

I would like to build one as well, if someone can burn a ROM for me? And what else is required other than just standard through-hole soldering? (Perhaps we can order a batch of PCBs and divide them?) it looks like a 25C256 is needed - I can send you one it's not an issue I will surely build this - …

It's not detecting at all, that's the issue. If I run the basic Adlib Gold drivers, it says no card is detected. It's also not being detected by games. I even attempted a control chip reset (per instructions listed earlier in the thread) multiple times to no avail. I've also given it a quick …

Maybe you need to disable the onboard 386dx CPU first, this was discussed here: Re: New 486dlc build problem. Read the posts after this and you will see pics as well
