Hi, Yes, I think it is a good idea to ask here and then to buy an old card (via ebay or others...).
I am using SBLive here, if you only want to use Mpxplay or QV it works very good. If you want to use the driver for emulating SB16, I think that I heard, that an old mainboard has to be used. I think it would be _also_ interesting which _new_ hardware would be usefull for DOS these days - which soundcard (which can be used by Mpxplay/QV), which network-cards, which mainboards etc. Bye Flo 2008/5/17 Michael Reichenbach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi! > > For my pci-only computer Eric advised me to get either SBLive or SBPCI. > It`s a good time for me to purchase a new soundcard anyway. > > Anything I should pay attention? > > The problem is there is no real feature matrix, a full comparison of all > soundcards made by creative. > > I found the article Sound_Blaster in wikipedia.
