Hi guys
I've found this https://www.serdashop.com/OPL2LPT
What exactly is it?it's a sound card for the parallel port?
I'm very interesting into FM Synth music generated from YAmaha YM3812
At the moment I use opl2/3 DosBox emulator on My modern PC
I'm looking for someting better..I have not the chance to buy Real ISA Adlib
Do you think this is good?

Yes. It's been documented quite well by YouTubers in the recent years. I think the owner of this shop is from vogons too

I'm looking for someting better...Emulators cannot be accurate like Real Hardware...I've seen many videos comparing Real OPL2/R chip with emulators
It's obvious i cannot purchase a SBPRO/16 and insert in my Mobo because its doeans's support ISA..Also i would have to install SB drivers ecc...
What are thae options that I have?
To config a new retro PC?new Mobo/New CPU ecc
Or what can I do?
