Great Hierophant, why 'especially the PnP version' of Gravis? Though I had no GUS at all, I have heard that GF1-based versions are preferable for games. What's your opinion on that?

From my experience Classic and MAX sell much better than PnP. Also Classic/Max look 10x cooler 😁
Both sound similar, even tried Utopia for PnP where i liked the 4MB Gravis sound patches better.

A few month ago, I saw the much old AT and earlier ATX case on sale in eBay. But sadly the seller was disappear 😢 🙁

I still have a couple zip drives. The SCSI model is a good option for classic Macs. Mine's an SE/30. And the parallel port model can be used as mass storage on an Amiga, with a custom cable.

Hard to pick out a single component amongst a huge catalogue of components, like the intel 486DX2-66, SBAWE32, Turbo Button, Speed LED display, many ISA based cards, Voodoo1 & 2, S3 cards, Combo 5.25" + 3.5" drive, etc..

But if strictly one, it's my Roland MT-32 or the LAPC-I card.

Maybe the GUS Classic and MAX may be more popular/desirable, but the PnP may win out because of its rareness. The Classic and MAX are more compatible for DOS games supporting the Ultrasound.

Just recently bought a PnP about a month and a half ago. How rare are they? There were at least two on ebay when I got mine.

The GF1 cards together (classic, ACE, Extreme, Max) should easily outnumber the Interwave cards. In the GF1 line, you can find many cheap cards like the ACE. The PnP, however, did really not come in a low-end flavour.

Err? What is advantage using Gravis soundcard over SoundBlaster?

"Comparatively" cheap of course! Apparently there are a few non-Gravis GF-1 based cards floating around. Anything that helps makes these cards more widespread was a good thing.
