Just got this card as a piece of "Junk" on Yahoo Auction Japan (In Japan, "junk" sometimes means "not tested goods", so people can get those "junk" in a pretty cheaper price even it may be still workable though u can't claim returns or refunds if it is a junk literally).

I wish to build an early Win98 era old gaming PC for games using Direct X 5.0~6.0 and Glide or later 90's dos game could be run under win9x. I've got an Asus CUBX-E motherboard with ISA slots and ATA-100 chip, voodoo 3 3000 (both AGP and PCI version). Because Midi music is still widely used by those games in that period (FF7 & FF8 etc.), I'm thinking of using an AWE64-gold with this MX200 together on it.

So, how is the quality of this midi daughterboard on MX200? IS it a Dream-Roland one? My AWE64-gold got no MIDI daughterboard and I've never used those two sound cards before (just heard them before as some kinds of legends), I believe the sound quality of those two cards are the top class in that era, but got no idea about their midi quality. Is it still necessary to use hardware midi synthesizer such as Roland-88 pro on those cards? Need some information and suggestions on it.

BTW: I think voodoo 3 is good enough for DX5.0~6.0, Glide games and later 90's dos games, but opengl and S3TC are the weakness, so should I equip another S3 Savage 4/2000 or Geforce FX 5200 PCI card for other games?

Thanks
