Hi Folks,
After reading a lot on the SB16s, and coming to the conclusion that they all have some problem or other...
Is there any real reason to using a SB16 card instead of say a Yamaha card, besides the "I want a Sound Blaster card in my system" reason..?
If it's not the midi bugs, it pops and clocks, or noise, etc. Seems there is no 1 good one, so what's the point?
Also somewhat related...
I know it's possible to use more than one card, since I have seen it aorund here several times. But what exactly are the resources used for the FM portion? Is it just the base address?
What happens when you add 2 cards say a Sound Blaster Pro and a SB16, or a SB16 and a Yamaha, etc.? How is it specified which card a game uses for FM? Just by the address you configure or something else?
Would it be possible with that criteria to connect say an AWE32/64 + a Yamaha card for the best of both worlds, and have all the nice stuff the 32/64 cards have plus the true OPL of a Yamaha card? (or that SB/SBPRO/SB16 cards have too)
