Do PAS 16 is supported? Since, to my knowledge, it's not a PnP card and it's also not listed as supported in the enclosed README, I'm quite sure that it's not supported. Reading up on it, it seems the PAS is using its own drivers to configure the card (and no jumpers) - so, as much as I am not …

Not saying it's gonna help, but just in case, did you try a factory reset? -> http://www.synthmanuals.com/manuals/roland/mt … ctory_reset.pdf

This one is from a non-pro version of Dynamite V L which looks different than the one above, but might still work. Oh my, forgot to subscribe to this thread and didn't get an update notice... thank you for the dump, I'll test if the w32p ROMs do work for the W32i (just for the fun of it). Because, …

Sorry for necro-ing this thread, but if someone is still listening and owning this card, would it be possible to maybe upload a video rom dump of this card or test a replacement code from the link listed below? Mine recently died due to a short on the ISA, with 12V going to dataline 1, which happens …

Are you using a GUS input ? That's indeed what I am doing, I wouldn't want to pipe a GUS through a noisy SB :) Could you maybe make it an option to unmute it? Personally, I'd suggest not touching the muting at all - in my mind, it should be a user's choice (for good or bad) to have line-in enabled …

Said friend who pinpointed the issue also reported various GUS demos not working on his ARGUS setup - but then again that could have a ton of reasons not related to the ARGUS. If you want to name one or two, I could try them on a couple of configs. Apart from Absolute Pinball, Cubic Player 2.00a++ …

EDIT: Also works with 512k InterWave cards. Indeed, with the 30pin SIMMs removed from the original PnP, it instantly works. ... I wouldn't have to adapt the layout of the ARGUS which is final anyways and could fix the issue for all other cards without having to fiddle with (solder)-jumpers, SIMMs, …

DRAM and (parallel) ROMs/SRAMs are accessed differently. While SRAMs and ROMs accept a complete address on the pins at the same time, DRAMs accept their addresses in two "pieces"; first the row address is strobed, followed by the column address. Combined, this gives the complete cell address. …

I notice that the first module I load in Interwave mode has corrupted sample data / parameters. Every subsequent module loads just fine. This is with 8 MB of memory.

Is is really "lost", or is it related to the re-location of the RDP? If you use "UNISOUND /Cx /R", where x is the number of the card in question, does UNISOUND still report the correct resources?

I'd also have something for him to look into, if or when he returns (a combination of an ESS 1868 with Ultrasound), where unisound seems to reset the PNP config of the ESS on any startup: With both cards installed and the ESS configured by ESSCFG it is working nicely. Then add an Ultrasound PNP to …

I couldn't figure out by the pics how shock modded his card thats like this one. Is there really no way to add ram to this car? Since they omitted footprints for it, I'm guessing they also didn't run any traces for e.g. RAS or MWE from the Interwave. The interwave itself does provide all the …

My personal recommendation: take shock's AKC (or buy any other KC) and sell this card unmodified. You'll then probably end up with a dual RAM option card and more money than you have now ;) KC and AKC will both work on the same card and so far, I've found no noticable bug in any game or demo that …

Did you use the MS6308 or another Amp? I did get a pretty noisy and distorted sound at higher volume settings on one of the amps I tested as possible replacements. If you're using the 6308, maybe it's worth trying a replacement?
