Re: RE: Regarding the suggestions you made, with regard to checking the TLO82 OP AMP

I'll take a stab at this-

  The sound card must be in slot 1 in the card cage ???
  Says who?

  Is this because this is the only configuration that allows the connectors to
be fitted?
  I've played around with Star Trek and Space Fury and have no problems
shuffling the cards around from one slot to another. Maybe this is particular
to Eliminator? I'm more inclined to think not. As far as I know, the G80 bus
is a simple, passive backplane. You should get no problems moving the cards
from slot to slot.

  That being said, here's one man's alternate solution to your card extender
problem:
  Cut the side of the case off!
  I think you'd have to build your own extender and IIRC, those slots are 88
pins- not common.

  I had three card cages and not one fully working boardset, so I Dremeled (is
that a verb?) off the side nearest to the power connector. Now, I can put the
card in question in the front slot and have access to the component side.

  ...and don't give up on another sound board being found. I picked up an
untested Universal sound board and now my Star Trek is fully alive. It's almost
beautiful to hear those introductory chords when the objects are first placed on
the initial playing field. I've been hearing them in my mind the whole time the
sound was out, and now it's like my deafness has been lifted! Sappy? Who
cares!

  Good luck,
    Kerry

  P.S. You're welcome in advance . :->
