cr1901 changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

<tunixman> Yeah, Chinatown is pretty great.

<ValleyBell> KitsuWhooa: Yes, it's an Ultrasound clone card that I happened to get from someone who got rid of his old cmoputer.
<KitsuWhooa> I have one of those too but haven't gotten a chance to try it :p
<KitsuWhooa> I think my card had a few broken caps on it

<ValleyBell> cr1901: Have a fun and relaxing vacation!
<ValleyBell> KitsuWhooa: That's how my card looks https://vgmrips.net/misc/IMG_4814_AMD-InterWave.JPG
<KitsuWhooa> Yup, that's the one I have
<ValleyBell> From what I read you can solder some RAM on them and then they are Ultrasound compatible.
<ValleyBell> I took photos of all the cards from my old PC a while ago. I have of for the SoundBlaster 16 as well: https://vgmrips.net/misc/IMG_4799_SB16.JPG
<ValleyBell> Having a dump of the InterWave's sound ROM would probably be cool.
<ValleyBell> because I think that the sound driver does the OPL register -> MIDI instrument remapping in software.
<KitsuWhooa> I could probably dump it if I had the card with me :p
<KitsuWhooa> well
<ValleyBell> There is no rush anyway.
<KitsuWhooa> that's assuming that this chip on the side contains the rom
<KitsuWhooa> and not ram
<ValleyBell> The card has, by default, no RAM.
<KitsuWhooa> ooooh
<ValleyBell> only the ROM with General MIDI instruments
<ValleyBell> and in order to make it Ultrasound compatible, you need to buy some compatible RAM and solder it into the place where they put the "PCA76IAW" sticker
<KitsuWhooa> ah, I see
<KitsuWhooa> that'd be fun to try
<ValleyBell> or at least that's what I remember reading on Vogons
<KitsuWhooa> :p
<ValleyBell> oh, indeed :)
<KitsuWhooa> I wonder if that's why there are two latches up there
<KitsuWhooa> also
<KitsuWhooa> what the hell is that serial eeprom for
<KitsuWhooa> below the incorrect CE silkscreen
<ValleyBell> https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=31998#p340164 This seems to be where they discussed the card.
<NiGHTS> EC251 InterWave Audio Card \ VOGONS
<ValleyBell> a few posts below they even have an image with RAM at the correct place.
<KitsuWhooa> Apparently the eeprom might contain what's used for the PnP detection
<cr1901> ValleyBell: Tyvm, I will. I'll most likely post pics on hellsite (not that it's much different from current surroundings other than beaches and salt water :P)
