on datasheet it says it's mpu401 compliant. We can at least try, if it doesn't work, we don't populate 😁

we can still put a waveblaster connector, there are other cards with wavetable that also have it. It's not mandatory, but a neat option.

this one has a cs4331 DAC wich is 18bit with 94db SNR and it has a cs9233 GM/GS DSP that outputs to the cs4331. It has a 16bit adress decoding. http://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf … RUS/CS4331.html So it's an 18bit audio card I think.

Are there any other 18bit dac soundcards?

Indeed it does, maybe the eeprom contents dictates what it is. Will put full images to compare : NUSOUND: Filename 20150314_150224.jpg File size 456.93 KiB Views 872 views S23A: Filename P1100791.jpg File size 113.81 KiB Views 872 views There still are a few diferences.

I bought this card, just out of curiosity, there is no much info on the internet. What catched my attention, was the 18 bit dac used in this card, wich from my limited knowledge it's not very common. Does anyone have the instalation disks for this card? It says it's pnp , but what about DOS? Hope …

That looks great! Not messy at all! very readable!

Intel motherboards up to pentium mmx , cirrus , S3 and some cards with pnp from that time should work out of the box

I still believe it's 27c something. Or DIP is some sort of plug for a test board as shown before, either way, we can try to read it as 29f or 28f. 27c, with a propper converter.

not 29f***, some pins are swapped

can you make connection from this to DIP that resides on gravis pnp?

best way is to remove the chip and do it. Isn't the 3500 the same as 3500?

Why would they be? ls373 is used to buffer rams and roms, so getting pinouts for reading is not hard, they are not being scrambled :) Pins on the IW78C21M1 are probably scrambled in a unusual pattern not widely supported on EPROM programmers. Not an issue at all since I'm cool with soldering …

will you lift the rest? There might be some more traces below resistors , capacitors and other ics.

Found the problem. 74f245 had all outputs short circuited, therefore it broke the via controller for IRQ. I substituted the 74f245, but no luck, so buying a new via controller is possible, but expensive, it's better to buy another motherboard. if one of these days a see a broken board with those …

Thanks to all :) But I will test on other motherboard. I am quite sure that this one is broken :) None of my isa cards is working. I was ok in messing with motherboards in the past, but most things were forgotten, but thanks to you, I found that motherboard is faulty. I will keep you posted. Will …
