Subject: Re: MCA Sound Card?
I have an MCA Pro Audio Spectrum, but my experience
with it and an MCA
Sound Blaster were disappointing (ie. compatibility was extremely low
despite one of them being the actual Sound Blaster MCA).
My advice for oldskool gaming is to set up anything OTHER than a
microchannel machine. My PS/2 Model 30-286 is great for this.

Interesting, I was under the impression that a real soundblaster (even an
MCA one) would work fine for gaming. Is there an issue with the CPU used or
something? Why do people blow big bucks to have a soundcard they cannot use
well?
