Original and P version 🤣

Sadly, original will be set for sale.
If you need any recordings send me a pm! 😁

What's the difference between the 2 versions?

Original one has support for PLG cards version 100.
Version SW1000XG/P has improved circuitry to support PLG version 150 cards.

Either you mod the circuitry or you place a heat sink onto the controller chip.
The P version is modified to support difference in voltages between PLG cards so it doesn't damage the card.

^ thanks for the info 😉
so what are the plans for the card you'll keep?

Using it as main MIDI synth in my Voodoo 5 computer and learning to make music of course 😁

Got a freebie today, a HP Pavillion 7110z along with a retail copy of Diablo! The sad thing is it need two new serial and a new paralel port (rust). The stock Quantum drive is shot(sounds like a bad head/pre-amp) so it might get my 4GB CF card. Doesn't boot for some reason from the optical drive.

I ordered a BUNCH of stuff from this online store. http://www.mpja.com/ it has SO MUCH neat stuff for people who dabble with electronics. the stuff is dirt cheap too! I grabbed one of these:

Hopefully I can plug it into a regular socket on a 486 and not have to bend pins every time I want to test a 486 cpu. For a $1, I cant really go wrong! I also bought the parts to make myself a MT-32 midi cable, and a few new svga patch cables for voodoo cards. I went there for cable parts, and ended up spending $125. 😜 Which means I got this 12V power supply for free: http://www.mpja.com/promotions-es-pr39.asp ^.^

Some recent drool-worthy "investments." 🤣 🤣 🤣

Gonna build a few nice PCI & VLB 486-based systems since I skipped over that generation growing up! Many thanks to FGB for some of the Asus beauties - took awhile to get here (damned customs) but totally worth the wait!

very nice.

Did you buy the Ensoniq from a Spanish ebay seller BTW?

Also nabbed this for DIRT cheap at a local rummage sale. Check out that dual 3.5/5.25 drive and wopping 2X CD-ROM!! Lucked out with a nice little CT1770 SCSI & two IDE drives in this as well. 😎

I believe so - yep.

hehe, that will be me! Hope you enjoy it!

Nice! It got here fast! Thanks again.

Yes, there's a special postage service called Urgent...ummm...don't remember the exact name. It consists on an agreement between USA and the Spanish postage services. So its actually cheaper to sent a parcel to USA as Urgent than as Regular.
How many days did it take to get there? Just so I have an idea?

Was it that LAPC-I bundle ebay auction which ended at 550$ recently?

Nope. Private seller outside of eBay.

Maybe 5-6 days? It was fast.

Very nice 486 system by the way. What's that combo FDD model? Looks like an Epson SD-800.

The money being spent on this stuff should be embarrassing, frankly.

Better deals do still exist, if you keep an eye out for them... I'm currently enjoying an SCC-1 card that I picked-up last week for $30. 😀
