Ohh, was it you that got the boxed Adlib from Germany 🤣 Or the one from the UK? If so, you got a good price! I always see these 200+ buy now auctions 🤣
Nothing wrong with having an old Sound Blaster. In fact everyone should have one 😜
On OCAU (Australians best and busiest IT community), someone asked what he could do with a boxed SB 1.5. Made an offer right away and it's underway!
The 1.5 was my very first Sound Card AND internal upgrade thingy. I worked as a kid for 4 weeks during the summer to afford it! 4 bloody weeks! ARG it was earned with blood and sweat 😜
But once I heard Monkey Island 2 and Fate of Atlantis with the Sound Blaster, it was well worth it. I remember my friend coming over and his jaw dropped. So he begged his mum and she bought him one 🤣
I still didn't get to trying to repair the buggered volume wheel, as currently I have no time whatsoever. Still I bought the card. Never know when something fails.
I also got another PAS16, but the speech / thunder board part is faulty. But the seller gave me a refund right away (just for the card) and I don't have to ship it back, which is awesome. But a shame they didn't test it properly...
