😀 It's not a marvel because only two of them do require IO, IRQ, DMAs at the same time. Two others are only synths and not difficult in co-configuration with "full" speech/synth sound cards.
I have on my regular retro system really four sound cards (not synths) which require all these resources. They occupy:
1) IO 220 IRQ 7 DMA 1
2) IO 240 IRQ 5 DMA 0 DMA 5
3) IO 250 IRQ 3 DMA 7
4) IO 260 IRQ 9 DMA 3 DMA 6
plus MPU IO 300 320 330 and MPU IRQ 11
- and they all coexist perfactly fine, no need for boot menus for different sound configs. This is really 4 cards built hard to setup. And cards such as LAPC-I, ADlib/OPL clones, SW60XG, Goldfinch are configuring by any child.
It”s not a competition on how complicatied you can make it 🤣
