Moar hardware-pr0n! http://i.imgur.com/QejwhkA.jpg (that's how a soldered QFP should look like ... even tho it's not perfect) On a more serious note: I checked the remaining donations and the parts list ... turns out one of the crystals (the DAC/ADC one) has an uncommon frequency and is not that …

Adding Vias along the way is no problem. In fact if anyone wants to do this as well: don't place C84/R84 & C85/R85, pins of the gameport jack are on R84 & R85 (right pad) - no need to cut traces then.

About the logo ... that's too bad for the logo, but I'll spend more time listening to the card than looking at it, therefore I see no need to change it. Especially since I can't move the silkscreen to the bottom layer and don't want to juggle the current silkscreen, especially with the current …

It is still a prototype. I don't think he can really give estimates before having a working and fully tested final version of the board. You win :) While I expect the digital part to make little to no problems I'm not so confident about the audio amp/mixer part (and still need to figure out the …

Keep in mind ... this could also happen: -12:35:03- (@Harekiet) hehe well I wonder if it'll detect the thing at the first go or there's magic smoke :) I've already found 2 very minor issues so far: - Removal of the stopmask near the ISA connector goes a teeny-tiny bit back too much, being the …

Hey, I have an even better idea! Let's clone the AWE64 instad, GUS sucks :D Thanks for reading the thread/blog. On a positive note: PCB manufacturer contacted me ... there most likely will be 2 excess PCBs be produced (overproduction) which were offered to me at a very cheap price (compared to the 2 …

Aww, for some reason I missed the last posts ... with wbc making a suggestion that might make it into the final never the less ... less ICs = more free space / less space required = cheaper PCB or more features (even tho on the feature side of things I'm done). Anyways: http://i.imgur.com/hI36hAN. …

Time for another update: Having put the project virtually at a full stop almost 6 months ago it's about time I get/got back onto it which so far meant the following: - setting up 3 boxes for testing (DX2-66, P120, MMX233) - There's actually an additional paycheck coming in for me in january which …

Just a small and long overdue update. Last monday was my appointment with the doc regarding what happened in July. No meds required, but I got the recommendation to visit a psychologist (which was my initial plan anyways ... with them saying "naaah, better visit a psychiatrist first to make sure …

Thanks a lot for all the positive and supportive feedback guys. It really helps. Luckily for now I've been almost completely clear from the paranoid/semi-psychotic stuffs for a week now with the depressive parts showing a bit more which is not the nicest feeling in the world, but on the positive …

Bad news ahead. Some may not like this, but I think it's only fair to keep you updated on why the project has been dragging along recently after starting off so fast. Long story short: the last 3-4 weeks were a total mess for me with me "waking up" from a depression (in which this project was …
