Hey Guys,
I'm trying to build a DOS system, with four sound cards. The goal of this computer is game compatibility. I settled on an ECS SI5PI AIO socket4 motherboard.
I have a collection of sound cards I thought would be appropriate. I'm looking for your opinions on which of the following should be used...
Short cards:
- SoundBlaster Pro 2 CT1600
- SoundBlaster 16 CT2740
- SoundBlaster AWE64 Gold CT4390
- Gravis UltraSound Plug & Play
- Gravis UltraSound Primax SoundStorm
- Guillemot Maxi Sound 64 Home Studio
- TerraTec AudioSystem EWS64 XL
Full-length cards (up to two):
- SoundBlaster AWE32 CT2760 (DSP v4.12 / OPL chip)
- SoundBlaster AWE32 CT3900
- SoundBlaster AWE32 CT3990
- Gravis UltraSound MAX
- Turtle Beach Systems PINNACLE
- Ensoniq Soundscape ELITE
As much as I find the AWE32 generation cool, I'm leery about the hanging note bug. I also have a Yamaha DB50XG wavetable card. I'd like your input on which sound card I should use this with.
Also, which card would be best for SB16 compatibility? Do I have to use a SB16 card? Or could another card serve this purpose?
Thanks!
