Hello guys, this is my second post here in vogons.
I'm 30, my first computer was a 286. I agree with most of you: emulation is not the same as the real thing! Not at all!
I'm in the progress of building a 486. I'm looking right now for a nice compatible sound card for ms-dos. I have read very good things about the Sound Blaster Pro Ct1600. But I want a daughterboard like the XR385 so I can have midi and the ct1600 does not support it.
I have been looking for a nice Sound Blaster 16 with high compatibility with SBpro and that doesn't have the hang note bug.
After reading quite a lot I have decided to buy a soundcard with the Yamaha YMF719 chip on it and not a SB16.
I bought this model, any opinions? Has anybody used this card?
It is supossed to have a high compatibility with Sound Blaster Pro and the XR385 can be attached to it.
For the sake of it I also have the option of getting a Ct1600 for around 19$, but if the YMF719E-S does the job I don't think I will for the time being. Maybe in the future, to compare it with other soundcards, etc.
Yamaha A151-A00 ISA (YMF719E-S Chipset)
