Wow. Is it even longer than full-length ISA cards?

2. Prometheus ARIA16. Very interesting little card based on Sierra Semiconductor ARIA chipset. Has 16 bit PCM playback and 512 Kb ROM compatible with General MIDI and MT-32 (but incompatible with MPU - native ARIA support is needed for MIDI playback). Can emulate Sound Blaster presence. Needs …

"lchiocca" originally posted a scan of the IMFC Technical Reference back in 2008. His link is dead, but you can grab it from my website: http://www.symphoniae.com/soundcard/Yamaha/IMFC/DOCS/IMFTechnicalReference.pdf The "dongle" being referred to is the MIDI connector box, by-the-way. I happen to …

That card was a rival for SB 2.0. Even SB Pro CT1330 sales began few months after PAS release.

wow, is the PAS that pricey? I don't really see a reason for it being in the same range as the lapc-i/imfc , was it sold in limited quantity or something? I don't know about limited quantity. I only saw PAS twice for sale (ebay auctions from €1/$1price) and bought both, first for €281 and second …

@ luckybob That's exactly one of those you had in your hands. The one that was without the box. @ keropi It was a trade rather than sale. Anyway, its value is (more or less) on par with LAPC-I, Adlib Gold or MediaVision Pro AudioSpectrum. If only I had a programming guide for it, I might try and …

MULTISND.ADV (Turtle Beach Multisound Classic) has been successfully tested. It turns out that this driver doesn't support any configuration (it effectively ignores any config parameters passed). Thus, only default configuration is supported: I/O: 290h IRQ: 10 SMA: D000h Also, hardware detect …

It's too bad the issue of FM whine, common to the PAS-16 and variants, was carried over into its design... :dead: FM whine? I heard no whine from my two PAS cards and two Pro Audio Studio cards, while I have listened to quite a number of MIDI files over them while testing PX player. What does that …

Is the soundman wave essentially a SB16 equivalent with General MIDI? I could have sworn that I've seen some games actually support the soundman directly...I cannot remember though. Not exactly. The 'direct soundman support' you have seen most probably relates to Logitech SoundMan 16, which is …

I have an EWS64XL but not right here. I'm afraid I can't assist you. Perhaps someone with the card can use Ed!son editor to somehow convert the bank.

As far as I remember, SampleLink can convert 94B to SF2. However, it is not free and I don't remember exactly.
