I've been "meh" about retro PCs for a while now, and have sold a load of my kit. But I've been tempted to get back into it and I like the more unusual approaches to retro gaming. I've bought a Via 800MHz C3 ITX soldered CPU motherboard thing and it has an PCI slot. I'll put my voodoo 3 in there for Windows 98 gaming and a PCI soundcard in there for DOS gaming.
I have a SB Live that "just works" (generally) but I want something different (and maybe a little unusual). I only need FM synthesis and normal SB pro or 16 support. GM would be a bonus. I've found:
Genius Soundmaker 32x2. This uses a FM801-AU chip. I can find very little about this on line! Any ideas what it is like?
Ensoniq ES1370 and 1371
many CT47xx 48xx
a few CT5803 and 5807
TYPHOON 94V-0 E229493
SIIG Soundwave IC-137012 SV750 (literally no idea what this is)
Ryzen 3700X | 16GB 3600MHz RAM | AMD 6800XT | 2Tb NVME SSD | Windows 10
AMD DX2-80 | 16MB RAM | STB LIghtspeed 128 | AWE32 CT3910
I have a vacancy for a main Windows 98 PC
