I've been toying around with my Cx5x86 setup. It runs DOS7 (from win 98) as fast as I've ever seen. There's no windows installed as I want this to stay a pure did machine. For now at least.
It now has a Pro Audio Spectrum 16 for sound and it works great!
As you know, there is a sound blaster emulation and MPU401 emulation in the drivers. Real OPL3 of course.
Now I've been wondering if it would be a good idea to install some sort of sound blaster (clone) next to it.
Would the sound blaster (clone) be potentially a better choice than the PAS16 emulation? Of course it would be one of the better SB or clones.
I've got about 10 is as based ones so there has to be a good one.
If the SB is the better choice, there's fine be the next question: IRQ and DMA selection 😜
So I'm a bit lost in my own collection ("hoard" is a bad word)
These SB (clones) are at hand:
Sound blaster 32 CT3620 (2MB installed)
Sound blaster vibra ct2260 (opl3)
Sound blaster vibra 16C, CT4180
Asus I-A16C (Vibra16C, same as above)
Digimate 3Dsound, CS4237-JQ
IBM Mwave (guess this one isn't the one to chose)
FIC-SC1671, ESS es1869F
Attend atc-6631, ymf719-s
Aztech Sound Galaxy Washington 16, AZT 2316-S (opl3)
BTC-1831, ESS1688 (LS245)
Expert Media MED2000, AD1646JP/Opti 82c929A (LS245)
Avance Logic ALS007
Avance Logic ALS100+ (meh)
Noname ESS1869FC
So... would it be a good idea to put a SB(clone) next to the PAS? Which one do you think would fit best and why?
