Hi. Seems the Audician should use IRQ2/9 with SOFTMPU according to the documentation, but i don't know myself how to do that without breaking SB compatibility (IRQ5/7). This board uses the same IRQ for FM and MPU so it seems.

Awesome answer from mkarcher! Now i have to found a good source for affordable 4MB SIMMs with 8 or 9 chips preferably at 60 ns.

Hi. Would anyone know why a board would like only 30 pin SIMMs with 9 chips and won't work with 30 pin SIMMs with 3 or 2 chips?
Re: Strange high CPU load when playing mp3 on ISA sound card

Did you try another player than Winamp? I remember back in the time that i expercienced same thing with my Windows 95 K6-2 rig of 1999 with the Winamp of the time and an ISA SB16. That's why i moved to PCI sound card and it solved my problem.

Buy a matching Noctua fan, they come in a complete package with a lot of choice of connectors and even a simple solderless way to reuse the previous fan connector. Not to mention they are very silent and reliable. I can only regret they don't come in smaller size than 4 cm.

Good news today! About the Orpheus 2 LT, the order link gives a 404 error, you might want to fix it.

Hi. Is the PCB design of the ORPHEUS 2LT final? I have noticed the board is a bit longer than the 16 bits ISA connector unlike the MK8330 and the Orpheus I. That is a problem for those who would like to use this card in an Amiga, where ISA slots are inline with ZORRO slots separeted by less than 1 …
Re: ISA Bus expansion to secondary case

Thanks Horun, you are expert at diging out things, i couldn't find anything useful myself with Google. Yes weedeewee, you are probably right as the above pdf don't seem to mention any software. Now, i need to find a nice secondary case with a backplane.
Re: ISA Bus expansion to secondary case

Thanks for these links. I badly need software, unless these boards work as passive adapters. I don't know if there is a software part with the IBM 5161 bus expansion.
ISA Bus expansion to secondary case
Posted on 2023-02-03, 22:19
Hi there. I have been looking for a long time for those boards which allow to expand the ISA bus of a computer to a secondary case with more slots, just like the IBM 5161 except for 16 bits wide bus. I have now those boards with their 2 meters cable from Kontron, so-called ECIK-2001, but i have no …

Very nice and clean setup. What softwares are you using on the Amiga with all these MIDI devices?
Re: SoftMPU project needs your help! (game & sound card testing)

Hi there. Sorry i'm new to SoftMPU. I would like to know if there is an older version that could work with MSDOS5 and EMM386 v4.44. I'm trying to use SoftMPU to output midi music from PCTask 4.4, PC 486 emulator for Amiga which has no sound card emulation apart from pc biper but can use the COM port …
Re: Roland SC55 MIDI Thru
Posted on 2023-01-25, 23:15
I have tested also my spare SC55 and it has the same behaviour with INT2 not routed to the THRU port but INT1 yes. That's strange because it is unlikely that two units might have the same fault, but i remember having read on the forum someone who said INT2 was sending signal to THRU.

BX chipset mobo should do Pentium III Katmai and some coppermine. You should be good with 600 MHz.

I don't think tantalum caps could start a fire when exploding but it sure can damage nearby boards.

Yes those tantalum caps can litteraly explode when they are shorted out, it happend to me recently. Chances are the ISA slots and everything else still work because caps are only for regulation, but the computer might be instable. Better change the others before they blow out too. That is probably a …
Roland SC55 MIDI Thru
Posted on 2023-01-21, 23:03
Hello there. I have added a new element to my midi chain with a Korg X5DR. I want to run it after the Roland SC55. I am surprised to see that MIDI THRU of the SC55 passes data to MIDI IN of the X5DR from the MIDI IN 1 of the SC55 (the port at the back) but not from MIDI IN 2 (the port at the front). …
