I'm not encountering a bug, I'm just saying it's an option, since it says the sa1099 emulation does not require a gameblaster or cms chip, despite the gameblaster containing not 1, but 2 such chips.

I'd have to say it's a toss up between sb live (any model) and ensoniq audio PCI, preferring the former a little bit more.

the OPL4 instruments were already ripped in fast tracker format, so you could use those as a starting point. link is on the topic "old soundfonts hard to find"

OK, how about doing a soundfont of the aureal vortex 2. My question is: does it use the same gm dls as the montego? also, would it be possible to do a soundfont of either the multisound or the tdk PCI soundcards? both of those cards used the same chip as the awe32.
