I have been researching on the Roland offerings from internal units to external units.
So far I found out that LCPC / SCC offerings are identical to ext units but with integrated
MPU401. Stand alone MPU401 cards sell for more than 200 USD in the market.
I know most sound cards have Joystick and midi combined in one port and
also claims to be MPU401 compatible. So whats the big deal with the
stand alone MPU cards from the likes of Roland , MusicQuest and Midiman?
Are they superior in any way from a regular say Awe32 / Awe64 cards?
I am asking the above in the contex of pure DOS environment and not
some MPU software emulation under Windows 95 and above.
I have read the blow posts, but they do not offer much help regading the topic.
MT-32 with a SB AWE32 or Built-in SB 16 (Dell Optiplex GXPro)
SB 16 & SB AWE64 in same system as means to get around hanging note bug? (i.e. AWE64 as dedicated external MIDI card)
