wrench Known issues
  • Leaky Ni-Cd clock battery

The Ni-Cd battery may be leaking, risking damage to PCB layers & nearby components. Promptly remove the battery & clean corrosion/alkaline salts from the board. Use white vinegar to dissolve salts, but exercise caution as vinegar can corrode exposed metals. A thorough examination & repair may be needed. Replace battery with guide: https://github.com/wiretap-retro/Not-A-Varta

  • Bad/shorted tantalum capacitors

Owners of this board have reported tantalum capacitor failures on this board. Make sure there's no short before turning on this board for the first time.

  • ROM Corruption

This device is known for occasionally corrupting its configuration EEPROM. This may lead to the card malfunctioning or not being detected, or even the system refusing to boot. The 'BIOS/Firmware' section may have a dump of this EEPROM that can be used to restore functionality.

  • "Fake" OPL2/OPL3

This card may have a genuine-sounding but fake OPL2/3 chip.

Examples:

  • LS262
  • LS245 (not to be confused with 74LS245 which is a standard buffer/driver IC!
  • DSP245

These chips perform and sound like genuine YAMAHA OPL2/3 chips, as they were unauthorized reproductions of genuine (stolen) chip masks.

  • Underpowered VRM

The VRM may not be adequate for the card and perform poorly and/or is prone to being defective.
