freezedream Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Hi there,I'm new to this forum but I'm interested in building a MIDIbox FM. I'm located in Australia and am wondering if anyone has a spare YMF262 + YAC512 combo that they are willing to sell me. The chips can be desoldered or new old stock, just so long as they are in working order.Thanks! Quote
stryd_one Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Welcome aboard mate. You can pick up a used Sound Blaster on ebay for like 5 bucks :) Quote
nILS Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 ...just make sure to check the list of soundcards known to have the chips on the wiki ;-) Quote
matoz Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 See Wilba OPL3 Bulk order: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wilba_opl3_bulk_order Quote
stryd_one Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Oh my bad! I didn't realise there was a waiting list for #3.Wilba's chips be the shiny dope NOS variety, and around the same price. Definitely put your name down. Quote
Wilba Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 I haven't actually finished building an OPL3 module with the chips I've sold already... and since Sasha had trouble with the ones I sold him, I may not run another bulk order until somebody confirms these chips actually work! Quote
Flexinoodle Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Send me some and i'll test em heheheheheheFlex Quote
freezedream Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Posted February 18, 2009 Have you checked eBay lately? Any SoundBlaster cards with YMF262 chips on them are hard to come by these days and/or they cost a fair bit more than 5 bucks. I've put my name down on the OPL3 bulk order list, so it'd be great if some of you could confirm that the chips from the last order actually work! :)Cheers! Quote
philetaylor Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Wow I just did check ebay, $149.94 for an 8-bit ISA soundcard ???http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IBM-PC-XT-8-bit-ISA-Sound-Card-SoundBlaster-SuperSound_W0QQitemZ130218671771QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item130218671771Phil Quote
stryd_one Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Rare collector's item. You want the crap one instead ;)Check the list out on the wiki. I saw a 1740 on your ebay, for example ;) Quote
Goblinz Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Old cards are worth money? :oI have a box ful of crap. Anybody want to make an offer on my VESA WinTV card. Does anybody still remember VESA cards? Am I even old enough to remember VESA cards? Quote
