Beavis Ultrasound PnP ISA Sound Card Replica
Uhhh... I'm, like, angry at numbers.<br>Yeah, there's like, too many of them and stuff.
The Beavis Ultrasound PnP is an open source replica of the Gravis Ultrasound<br>Pnp. Unlike other clones, this design includes the entire schematic as well<br>as the reverse-engineered source code of the GAL.
If you want to build this board, first make sure you have an AMD InterWave<br>chip, the AM78C201. The design of the card is quite simple since essentially<br>all sound card functionality is built into the AMD chip.
Note: I have not generated the fab package since I have not actually<br>fabricated the board and tested it for functionality. Build this board at your<br>own risk.
Schematic PDF
Fab Notes
The board is 8.2 x 4.2 inches (208 x 107mm) and 4 layers. Feel free to go with<br>ENIG plating for the edge fingers; although hard gold is technically better, it<br>is ludicrously expensive.
Assembly Notes
The dual op amps may be substituted. The BOM calls out the LM833 but the<br>JRC5532 will also work. Basically, any ~10MHz low noise op amp that can handle<br>a +/-8V input power supply will suffice.<br>If you want to get fancy, install sockets and experiment.
The ferrite beads were missing from the card I started with so their values<br>are unknown but you can replace them with a 0 ohm resistor or a piece of wire.<br>It's a little odd using ferrite beads to filter the voltage regulators when<br>they are really only effective at frequencies far higher than the audio range.
JPR12 and JPR13 are not installed. Presumably these were for testing the<br>isolation of the 5V analog power planes, which have cuts to reduce crosstalk<br>between the analog and digital supplies of the InterWave chip.
U100 is there for completeness but in practice is never used since it hosts<br>a PLL chip that doesn't seem to exist anymore. Use the two crystals instead.
Programmable Devices
U8, the IW78C21M1, is the 1MB sample ROM. If you can't find this chip, then<br>go find and download the sample ROM from around the internet and burn it to<br>a 27C800, and install it (preferably socketed) at U80.
U6/U60 is the 93C66 EEPROM containing the plug-n-play configuration data.<br>You should program it with the contents of ultrasound_pnp.bin using a TL866 or equivalent device programmer.<br>Note that the order of bits is reversed in the EEPROM contents, 16 bits at<br>a time. For example, the first two bytes are actually 1E 56 but are stored<br>as 6A 78. A small Python program, pnp_reverse.py, is provided if you are<br>curious, but it is not necessary to program the 93C66. It's only useful if<br>you want to experiment with custom configurations and you're not using the<br>PNPMAP.EXE utility provided by Gravis/AMD.
U14 is a GAL used for several purposes:
Buffer IOCS16 from the IDE port to the ISA bus
Buffer the bus reset signal to the IDE port
Decode some address lines to make the primary/secondary drive select signals
Control the buffer enable signals for the ISA to IDE data buffers
If you don't need the CDROM IDE function, you probably don't need the GAL. If<br>you do, burn the gr_gal.jed...
