Home / I-Opener Areas / I-Opener Technical Stuff Any luck with ISA?

Any luck with ISA? (modified 0 times) mdetz Profile Did anyone ever have any luck with adding an ISA slot? There are some old posts about using the lines from the audio chip. I have bunches of old ISA cards that I would love to use (some with parallel/serial/fdd/ide ports), but I wouldn't know where to begin. 02-27-2001 13:34:18

RE:Any luck with ISA? (modified 0 times) Programmer Profile If you have a V5; get the datasheet for the yamaha sound chip (which you don't have) get the pinout for the IDE bus get an IDE connector get some wire (wire wrapping 30Ga should work) carefully connect the wires from the yamaha location to their respective locations on the IDE Connector insert ISA card hope you aren't drawing too much power turn on your IO 02-28-2001 07:33:13

RE:Any luck with ISA? (modified 0 times) mdetz Profile I'm confused. Don't you want it to be anything but the v5 if you're talking about the yamaha chip? http://www.yamahayst.com/lsi/products/pdf/4MF715E20.pdf - taken from an old thread: http://www.linux-hacker.net/cgi-bin/UltraBoard/UltraBoard.pl?Action=ShowPost&Board=technical&Post=755&Idle=&Sort=&Order=&Page=&Session= 02-28-2001 11:30:26

RE:Any luck with ISA? (modified 0 times) Programmer Profile :) nope you want a v5.. that way the location for the yamaha chip is unpopulated.. 02-28-2001 13:04:36

RE:Any luck with ISA? (modified 0 times) mdetz Profile oh, well that makes sense. Guess I am out of luck then. 02-28-2001 15:07:13

RE:Any luck with ISA? (modified 0 times) Programmer Profile there are other locations on the board that you can solder to.. the bios socket has most of the address and data lines, or you could trace the pins on the sound chip and find test points.. it just means that it'll be a little bit more work for you.. 03-01-2001 07:43:34
