The Orpheus II ISA soundcard has returned due to popular demand, with pre-orders open for a new batch aimed at DOS and early Windows enthusiasts. The card supports every major audio standard of the era in hardware, including Sound Blaster, Gravis UltraSound, OPL3 FM synthesis, and MPU-401 MIDI support. The new Rev 1.1 board comes in green and includes configuration tweaks such as the classic YMF262 OPL3 chip, improved AdLib Gold output filtering, extra MIDI IRQ options, and a switch to SMD components. The card fits a single ISA slot and includes a standard 26-pin header for DreamBlaster, SCB-55, X2GS, and similar add-ons. This release targets users seeking authentic hardware-based audio for retro computing without emulation.
