Orpheus II: The Best Retro PC Sound Card in 2023? Perhaps!

From PCMIDI.EU comes the Orpheus 2 - a new 16-bit ISA sound card! Could this be the best one for vintage computers right now? An argument can be made for that I think. On-board Gravis Ultrasound PnP compatibility, plus all the Orpheus 1 features like Sound Blaster Pro compatibility, Yamaha OPL3, and an intelligent mode MPU-401. As far as modern replica sound cards go, this thing is a step above the rest at the moment!

They should make a V3 with an FPGA, these ASICs are getting harder to source and make up the majority of the cost. An FPGA card could have multiple soundcards flashed onto it and different combinations to use, all while taking up a much smaller footprint than a custom card that uses multiple ASICs. A prototype of this was pitched at VCF Midwest so it's an idea that has been around for a while now.

Somebody have to create the FPGA first. And then thre is the question - isn't it simpler to have it emulated on something like RPi. Or isn't it simpler to have it in DosBox. I just like it as is - the discrete sound card on real chips. On real device with real hard drive and real CRT.

@KenjiUmino Жыл бұрын

@@rkurbatov no need to "create" a new FPGA - they are called "Field Programmable Gate Array" for a reason - simply put, you can "rewire" the transistors inside a FPGA any way you want so they can be anything you tell them to be. If you have the wiring diagram of the real chip and an FPGA that has enough transistors inside to rewire, you can recreate an EMU8k and a CT1749 for example ... or even a voodoo cards TMU and FBI. It's the closest you can get to the real chip and, if done right, indistinguishable in function - it beats "software emulation" like dosbox or some RPi thing. Only downside is that FPGAs cost money too, and the more capable they get, the more money they'll cost - so - it might not matter if you use FPGA or NOS/Salvaged original chips, you might end up with a mighty expensive clone card either way

@thegreatcodeholio123 Жыл бұрын

The problem is that while PCI Express cards could respond to all the right I/O ports, PCI and PCI Express cannot do ISA compatible DMA like what DOS programs expect. There's nothing for PCI and PCI Express to do that with. When sound cards moved from the ISA bus to the PCI bus in the late 1990s, they either didn't bother with DOS games, or you had to load EMM386.EXE and run a special TSR in the background that intercepted the I/O to emulate a Sound Blaster for the DOS game, or you had to run the DOS game in a Windows 9x DOS box where Windows or a 3rd party driver would emulate it. There were some hardware level hacks too at the time. On some motherboards there was a special cable you had to connect to the card and the motherboard to carry the ISA DMA signals. On Intel boards, there was a hack called "Distributed DMA" which allowed the PCI card to fiddle with the motherboard DMA controller to fake ISA DMA which sometimes worked. But that hack didn't last very long. On a related note, you may have noticed that the disappearance of the standard floppy controller in the late 2000s coincided with a particular version of Intel motherboard chipsets where they completely dropped support for any kind of ISA DMA at all, because the standard floppy controller and floppy drive also used ISA DMA to operate.
