Greetings,
A while back, I scored an old Orchid Sound Producer Pro on ebay, which I'm finally getting around to testing.
After snipping off a tantalum cap off the -12v rail that I'm intending to replace, it no longer shorts out my power supply.
The person I bought it from did not have any driver disks to ship with it, and neither does todays internet it seems. I can find references and download links to the files on the wayback machine, but as always, it doesn't have the files... I have been fruitless in my search of these files based on filename.
Since it claims to be soundblaster pro 2.0 compatible, I tried the soundblaster pro drivers, which promptly refused to work with the card. I had no luck getting WFW 3.1's soundblaster 1.x drivers to work with the card either.
I have gotten the midi-mapper in windows to use the the adlib functionality, so the card isn't completely dead anyway...
Any ideas of what to try in order to get the card running? Anyone happen to have the drivers rotting away on some floppies somewhere?
