oops, i cloned another sound card! this is the Beavis Ultrasound, an open source clone of the Gravis Ultrasound PnP.
yes, i know there are already clones of this card, but mine provides the full schematic and matches the original board layout.

Attached: 1 image on the bench of healing: this gravis ultrasound PnP 1.0. it's in really rough shape!
mastodon.social@tubetime omg, I actually lol'd at "Advanced Beavis" 😆
@tubetime Didn’t the Gravis have a bank of RAM chips one had to load the patches into before use? Does the ROM replace those with a fixed patch set that’s always ready, or do you get both?
@acb yeah the card has both the RAM and the ROM with the fixed patch set. the SIMM slots are for adding more patch memory.
@tubetime Was the ROM a feature of later revisions, or something added for convenience to this project? IIRC, my GUS only had the RAM.
@acb interesting. it's part of the original GUS PnP.
@tubetime how do I learn to do stuff like this
@xeroxed i did a twitch stream showing part of the process: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2814615896
Gravis Ultrasound reverse engineering! - tubetimeus on Twitch
tubetimeus went live on Twitch. Catch up on their Science & Technology VOD now.
www.twitch.tv@1000millimeter you still need the custom chip for this one. unfortunately it is hard to find so this design data is more useful for repairing existing cards.
