[...] Heh its a GTX 285, thing is built like a tank, I suspect you would need a rather large static charge to actually harm it at which point you might actually be in danger too. MIght be built like a tank, but those PCIe pins are just as electrically exposed as on the most fragile of cards. That's …

What OS are you going to use them in? For DOS, there is no reason to initialize the Live! card at all if you have the SB16 in there. For Windows, you can just disable Live!'s Legacy emulation and route SB16's Line Out to Live!'s Line In. Or disable SB16 altogether in the hardware profile. Win98 and …

Try the EFISH DC 12V 2A 24W, its a 12v psu with only 24 Watt and plenty headconnectors to try. It shouldnt break the speakers. You can get it from Amazon and refund in the case it wont work. If youre from the US Belker offers something similar for US Customers Try "12v dc power supply" Amazon …

Sarcasm? Cause i did like the sound it sounds very SoundBlaster like in the "old" days. That's the thing, the SBPCI 128 isn't like a Creative Sound Blaster. It's an Ensoniq card at the core with some TSR support for some Sound Blaster compatibility (varying between driver versions) and the FM …

You'd better love that Ensoniq Concert Wavetable set because that's all you're getting for any synthesized music with that card :) The DOS TSR will try its best to translate all OPL2 to it and is one of the unique guilty pleasures (besides some older Live! cards) Sarcasm?
