Welcome to the ARGUS DIY EU region page!
What is it?
ARGUS is an advanced clone of the classic GRAVIS ULTRASOUND PnP
soundcard that is made
by user shock__ and distributed now as a DIY project for the EU
region from this page.
You can read more on the ARGUS project on this lenghty VOGONS
thread.
What do I get
with this DIY kit?
You will get a high quality PCB with an original AMD INTERWAVE
chip that is the brains of the UltraSound PnP card.
You have the option to have the INTERWAVE chip pre-soldered on
your PCB - or not.
There is no extra soldering fee, the option is there for the people
that want to do all soldering by themselves.
In order to have a complete card
you will need to acquire all other needed parts, everything is
detailed in
the "ARGUS_final_doc.zip" file that is found in this
post.
The .zip file contains all needed documentation such as partlist,
component map, BOM, installation notes and useful
programs to make an operational ARGUS soundcard.

You will basically get the a PCB with the
Interwave chip just like in the above photo, nothing less
nothing more. The PCB will be of the last revision of the ARGUS
design - so there could be some
differences due to improvements.
