Pretty sweet! I might be interested in one even though I already have the Diamond 4MB card.

So like a MIDIbox FM except with at least 3x YMF262 chips instead of just one? That would be one crazy setup. http://www.ucapps.de/index.html?page=midibox_fm.html But is OPL3 what the OP wants, or something better like the DX7II series?`

UGG. I gave up on the chelsio cards. I got lucky and found 5x i540 cards for $30 each. (lot auctions are awesome) The Chelsio cards work perfectly. You just have to have the correct driver for them. Ples you have to have the correct fiber cables... 50/125. The first cables I bought were not that …

It was most definitely an Aztech card if it supported all those standards. See here for the Aztech Sound Galaxy thread. You should be able to find pictures of any of the models listed there... It would have been a first gen card with the 0592-U01 chip. Aztech Sound Galaxy cards

Need -5V, if you using modern ATX, this is missing -5V. Check your power supply label. Cheers, Does it? I thought that may be the case but I couldn't find any reference to the SCC-1 needing -5V... just the LAPC-I. If so, it needs to be added to the list in the post below. https://www.vogons.org/ …

I had that happen most recently with one of the sound cards I sold. After 1.5 years. It was a NIB card and I still had some left so I sent him another card. Very first card I have had that was bad out of around 1,000 or so that I have sold. He apparently bought the card, never opened it, and didn't …

I have a Dell Force10 S55T-AC-R 48-port Gb switch with 4x 10Gb fiber ports on the way. This is gonna be sweet to use once I have my office set up and have my servers racked. For some reason these can go really cheap used. $75 shipped for a fully decked out switch ain't bad at all. Going to have this …

Yeah, prices have gotten quite high for some things. With the increased interest in retro/vintage computers it is not all that surprising. I bet some of it has to do with the reduced availability because there are those of us who have a horde of parts that we need to go through and sell most of them …

What exact Yamaha chip are you wanting this synth to have? And why do you need it to be a DIY build?

They should have just added a power port to it for systems that didn't provide power via the parallel port.

So just use a EEPROM flasher to flash it back to the stock and/or reflash it with the modified BIOS. I wouldn't necessarily just junk the board because of a bad flash.

The KT7A boards can even run up to around 2.3Ghz or so with the 2800+ Barton mobile CPU with the modified BIOS and the socket wire mod to give you access to the higher multipliers. Are you sure this applies to my revision 1.0 KT7A as well? It won't even POST when I set it to 11x133 through SoftMenu …

The KT7A boards can even run up to around 2.3Ghz or so with the 2800+ Barton mobile CPU with the modified BIOS and the socket wire mod to give you access to the higher multipliers. But then you lose the lower multipliers.

If you consider albatross parts "gaps" in your collection you must have a fun time being a collector XD You think the CT-1330A is hard to get... try collecting the old Gallant and Zoltrix ISA cards. I'm still missing a few. To top it off, the model numbers are different for what is the same card …

It's possible. You can always do a continuity test for that circuit to see if it's still intact. I can do the trace continuity from the pin's solder pad, that's easy. My real issue is not knowing what kind of a disaster is inside the socket.. How easy are these sockets to open up? How does one go …

My current rant is that I am away on a work trip and have multiple packages waiting for me at home, including a huge close to 70 lb lot of motherboards, cards, RAM and CPUs....... I'm gonna have some fun this weekend though... unless the wifey kills me that is.
