ChanServ changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

cr1901_modern: no, it's English and on Jitsi
andlabs has quit [Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…]
<cr1901_modern>
So that MCA controller is a 5V tolerant CPLD?
<ejs__>
yep
<ejs__>
same as on the Plaid Bib CPLD edition
<cr1901_modern>
5V tolerance is nice. I'd still like to do level shifting experiments on ISA just to keep my options open. I already have the parts for it. Just need the time (I'm on someone else's clock until January.)
<cr1901_modern>
Well, most of the parts*
<andlabs>
ah cool this might make PS/2s worth buying
<andlabs>
=P
<andlabs>
(an ISA->MCA adapter would make them far more useful)
<andlabs>
though I ahve abandoned trying to buy an old PC because we still have a few n the attic and I should see what they are first
<cr1901_modern>
Is ISA->MCA possible? (Well I guess "practical" is the better question)
<cr1901_modern>
You can make an ISA->PCIe adapter if you wanted, but would cards you put into that adapter "like" it?
<ejs__>
possible but there's no space for an adapter in a computer case
<Foone>
not with that attitude
<andlabs>
probably not with a standard consumer PS/2 no
<andlabs>
with that giant fucking tower LGR has maybe
<cr1901_modern>
Those giant fucking PS/2 towers came in a generic flavor for a period in the 90s
