When I saw the length of the card and the SIMM slot location, my first thought was that it was an AWE clone... then my eyes moved down and saw the Interwave. Amazing work! How constrained is the supply for Interwave chips? I imagine between this project and the Argus, the remaining stock left in …

Hi! Glad you received it. Somehow these boards came a little thicker from factory. Unisound supports it, but you need to use CMI mixer to disable 3d sound.

These boards are good for people that have hot air solder station. If not you need solder wick to remove solder, it's easy.

I've tried making some Orpheus - MK8330 comparison. Can you help fill the blanks? Anything you feel should be added? Hello! Intelligent midi is optional on MK8330, on Orpheus is standard. I would change that for now :) Thanks ! I've listed the CMI8330/CS4237 and PC-MIDI as separate devices, each …

Hello, Could you be more specific? What are you using to initialize the card? Orphinit or unisound? Could you post your orpheus.ini if using orphinit, or commands in unisound? Thanks!

In MK8330 you need to disable 3d sound if you use unisound. For that I usually use cmmix. I will test that game with mk8330 soon.

Well I at least tested it. For my taste is a big NO. Maybe other people like it. As for the rest. It works as it should.

I have one! 😁 OPL3 is very different from what we are used to. Never tested it deeply. It's a matter of taste.

Primax Altrasound (Soundblaster clone) was my first sound card, me back then couldn't afford a SB16 or a SBPRO2, a friend of mine was selling the Primax, really cheap, telling me it was SB compatible, so I got it. I had some friend with SB16 and Doom was released, all of us played normally at home. …

This looks great yet again! :) Happy to see that the CMI8330 is being used on a properly designed sound card for a change. Are there any plans to offer a bundle that includes the Dreamblaster X2GS? I'm already a happy user of the Orpheus + X2, but I've been looking for an excuse to buy an X2GS. …
