I agree with it being present in all genres of music. Some people have passion and others don't. Some just make music to pass the time, mess around with sounds, while others spend weeks crafting the perfect OPL3 synth lead with supreme macro tables.

This is the ABIT boards I have been using:

and then you just run a low MHZ P2, like this with just a heatsink:

Yup, thats right. A couple of the P2 machines I have, I think even the ones with that ABIT board, just have a heatsink on the CPU. No fan So the only slight noise you hear is from the psu fan and the ball bearing case fan.. The computer is not loud at all.

Define "readily available." heh. What I have done was just lurk ebay for days, weeks and months, and kept buying p2/p3 boards that have an ISA slot. I made sure they gave a warranty as well, and has been tested. I have good luck with that, maybe only 1 of them had a problem out of the 10 or so I have bought off of ebay. I'm not at home right now, but one of the best brands I found was ABIT. ABIT makes a P2 board with 3 or 4 ISA slots on it. If you want better, and are patient.... TYAN makes a P3 board with an ISA slot on it.. I have built machine with those wtih dos and win98, and they run very very well.
Oh man just checked ebay real quick.. this is the P3 TYAN board I have.. $75 is kinda high for it.. but that does come with box and manual.. Id offer $40, heh Check it:

Its a real nice board, and if you build a windows 98 machine.. you can pretty much run any type of software that came came out from 99 and older.

Re: COMPAQ ARMADA 1700 with Windows 98 \ Seq/Software to rock the OPL3? (25 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
What you are asking for would be fantastical and I would be into it as well. ha. But as for using the armada as a module, I have never come across anything in my travels/research that makes it capable to do so.
But the 1700 has a serial or a parallel port right? Because you can get a 1in/1out midi device like MIDISPORT or something. I have done that on my armada, used a parallel midi device, and was able to access midi in and midi out with IMPULSE TRACKER. So i know those sound cards are capable of doing that at least. It has some sort of MPU401 emulation or on board mpu or something on the card itself. With impulse, when you switch the sound card to MPU401, it lets you use the internal general midi sounds inside the tracker too...
But I dont think AT2 has that midi feature yet? I remember talking the creator about it, and he said MIDI would be out of the question and he is done with the program, unless someone else takes over AT2 and codes it all to be midi capable. And most likely, it would just be note on , note off... Unless someone wants to sit there and code all the OPL3 parameters that AT2 can access to CC numbers.. Ok go right ahead !!!

And I think the only way you can get MIDI capable OPL3, is to build one of the those MIDIBOX FM things:

Yes, the 1700 has a SB16 compatible soundchip, but you gotsta run dos!!
There is a windows executable I believe in the AT2 download zip, and you "can" run it in windows. But it is just not as stable in windows that it is in MS-DOS. I have run into scrolling problems, and graphics issues. Or do you mean another opl3 tracker altogether, that you can run in windows 98 ? Because I am not aware of any true OPL3 trackers that can run in 95/98...

where did you get your ste from? i have been hunting for one on ebay to no avail. that and getting an amiga for a good price is really bumming me out.
I ended up snagging a 1040STE and a regular 1040ST with color monitor within a couple days of each other on ebay.. this was about 2 years ago though.. thats how long it has been sitting around for untouched ha.
Would you be interested in a 1040ST ? i think its a 1040STF, either way I would like to sell it.
