Yes, it's a shame the quiet CT1600 and the even a tad more smoother CT2600 don't have midi-headers.
Of course you can use 2 SB16 cards, one for FX and one for the music but that's for die hard SB16 fans only. But I have an easier workaround: Just avoid a card with this bug! 🤣
In many cases the ISA slots and/or the ressources are limited. Many users new to the scene don't know how to manage the ressources. What about adding a GUS along with 2 SB16 cards? Would be funny to configure.
The missing Sound Canvas notes in MI2 are quite interesting. But good that ScummVM takes care. I love this program and have installed it on all my notebook and modern devices, it's even on my linux driven N900 compuphone.
Yes, it's always hard to advise others to buy 10 different cards/modules for 30-100 Euros each. I'm often asked what sound card or module to buy and I always ask back: What do you wanna do with it and how much do you want to spend?
But I'm happy that there are so many good choices available for the different time periods.
