fergusnoble Posted February 2, 2006 Report Posted February 2, 2006 Hi,Just found this on the net,http://www.labmaster.com/surplus/parts/html/surplus_parts.html#ANALOG%20COMPONENTS(look at the bottom of the table 'analog components')might be good for a group buy, a whole tube of both chips, unused.just thought I would share as I have just got me two '£1' soundcards off of ebay :)Cheers,Fergus Quote
MMorph Posted February 4, 2006 Report Posted February 4, 2006 Nice find! It is being funny that it actually took a little bit of an effort to find couple of old soundcards to get these little chips. First I thought that these shouldn't be hard to find but.. This could be a good source for FM syth parts if someone just wants to arrange up things some :) For some reason though there seems not to be quite many of Midibox FM synth builders? Hmm.. Quote
gpmacklin Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 I tried contacting the sales department and the email came back undeliverable. I'll keep trying and post back with info. Quote
kk74 Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 Just received a reply. They have 212 YMF262, 208 YAC512 and they cost $4.50 each. Quote
RadicalAns Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 Do they require a minimum quantity? Quote
Silverfish Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 The minimum order is $50 dollars. Who's interested in a group buy?!?! Quote

Lall Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 Hi all,Xanboroon and I are pretty interested in such a bulk order. Up to now, we've been too lazy to try to find old SB cards I must say...We are looking for 2x YMF262-M and 4x YAC512 in total.Best regards,Lall Quote

The price they cost me + shipping.)Xavier Quote

Ixox Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 Just wanted to say that the chips arrived this morning... shiny new and well packaged.I've already been contacted so there is no more to sell.But the address in the first message of this thread work well.Try email, someone told me that by phone the minimal order was 180$ (!!!!!).Now i'm waiting for smashTV PCB..... ;)Regards,Xavier Quote
widdly Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 I've got some NOS. 1-ymf262 and 2-yac 512 for $15 USD the lot including delivery. Message me for details. Quote
DragonMaster Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 What would be really nice is to be able to buy the YAC512 chips alone, since we can easily get 1 YMF262 with 1 YAC512, anyone could sell just YAC512? IC distributors aren't cheap... Quote
dcer10 Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 Hi,If the group buy is still happening count me. Im not that familiar with the OPL module, whats the difference between the YAC512 and the YMF262? Why can you have 2 of the YAC512 and is that better or doe you need all of them in there? In any case if theres an order I will be in for at least the minimum to build the FM synth, maybe enough for 2-3 of the units. Can you chain the OPL boards like the SID to have more in one box?Thanks,John Quote
DragonMaster Posted October 29, 2006 Report Posted October 29, 2006 The YMF262 is the synthesizer, and the YAC512 is the DAC for it. Most sound cards got only 1 stereo DAC, but the chip can support two of them, so you have 4 channels. That's why if someone would have YAC512 chips only for sale, that would be really nice, because when you get used sound cards you already have one DAC and the synth chip. Quote
dcer10 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 Thanks for the info, in that case if the group buy is still going I will commit to buying 2xYMF262 and 4xYAC512.Please email me directly if anything is happening :}All the best,John Quote
