Dear all,
I have found a local seller that has an 'old' MT-32 (not sure about the board revision) for $250 US Dollars, in fairly descent aesthetic shape, and fully functional form. Should I buy this unit, if my current setup is composed of:
HARDWARE:
Roland Sound Canvas 55 MKII
Roland MIDI INTERFACE UM-ONE (for emulating MT-32 with MUNT)
AWE64 Gold
SOFTWARE
MUNT
SoftMPU
DOS 7.1 (Using Phil's Computer Lab menu)
MY REAL RETRO PC
PIII-800E
Abit BH-6
Rage 128 Pro Video Card
64MB SD-RAM PC100
with my current setup I can play most GM MIDI DOS games on the SC-55, and when I am ready to play some MT-32 games, I simply unplug the MIDI-OUT cable from the back of SC55 (joystick MIDI adapter cable connected to my AWE64), and plug it into the UM-ONE receiving end.
I know the ideal setup would be a real MT-32 combined with CM-32L, but with the current scarcity, and the prohibiting cost of CM32-L's, I wanted to see if you recommend for me to still buy this unit or not?
Thanks in advance!
