I am trying to work out what is the best ISA sound card for pure DOS gaming for MIDI music.
I have SB AWE64 which takes care of compatibility and works very well in all games I have. I am not a big fan though of the MIDI music it produces, its ok but still.
I also have an ESS 1868F which works also perfectly in DOS and has SB / SB Pro / SB16 compatibility and no noise. I have the Dreamblaster S2 that works perfectly and the MIDI music from games sounds really nice and imo better than the AWE64.
I dont see the point of using both cards to take up more slots and resources and create potential conflicts.
Not sure what I am trying to find out here haha but would be keen to hear what others think / use for their pure DOS gaming setup.
