FS: Prometheus PCI board [SOLD]

What makes you think that the DMA patch from E3B has 'died a death'?

Hi,

The Matay DMA update never worked, only the DMA update from E3B works correctly. However I do not believe it is available at present.

Even without DMA support, the Prometheus is natively supported in OS4* for graphics (Voodoo, Permedia2, others may follow), ethernet (RTL8029), and also audio (ES1938 chipset only).

The mixer of other sound cards such as the Live!, SB128, and others is still supported, but no audio playback/recording can take place, due to lack of real DMA.

Regards

Ross

* Thank you to redrumloa for making this possible by sending me a Prometheus.

Hi,

Is it the only sound card I can use? What about FM801/OpenPCI?

It is the only sound card that can be used in OS4/Classic, all other sound cards (including FM801) require real DMA. You can use the mixer though.

*Note I am talking about OS4, not OS3.9/OpenPCI*

Ross..
