I will probably go insane try to create the perfect "Time Machine" because it isn't doable but I keep trying.
It will emulate a 386/486/586 and full speed K6-III+ 450
I will definitely use a modified (James-F) Yamaha YMF719 ISA card for DOS. I will use it for SB Pro, FM, synth, wavetable header and probably with SoftMPU and external devices in the future with a computer running Munt and BassMIDI.
I will use a Vortex 2 or a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz as a Windows 98 sound card. Especially for early Windows games with A3D.
Now... I am seriously thinking about installing a Sound Blaster 16 to handle 16-bit sound in DOS if I want and for compatibility for games that might make use of 8-bit to 3/2-bit ADPCM. I have two CT2770's around but I am thinking a PNP might be better in this case. I can choose to initialize the cards or not at boot time. ???
