I was looking in a shop for old soundcards, most of them were junk from genius and other cheap brands
and then i found this for about 4 dollars. I didn´t know philips actually did a pci soundcard to compete with soundblaster.
After looking online, it looks like philips did like 5 models, this one is the model 703
and there is even native DOS drivers for it according to the readme
and it has MIDI features: integrated 64-voice hardware wavetable synthesizer, 512-voice program XG/GM synthesizer from Yamaha;
DOS games should be run from a DOS environment (not a dos box
inside Windows). Ensure your Autoexec.bat file and Config.sys
allow you to access your CDROM. We recommend that you boot to
a command prompt to run your game.
Known Issues
============
1. Will not work behind PCI-PCI bridge.
2. Recommend running DOS games from a command prompt, not a dos
window.
3. There is only 2 speaker mode available (no QMSS).
does anyone have this card? it it good for retro games?
