I've got a PS/2 Model 80 (totally tricked out with

386->486 upgrade and 48mb ram) that I have a hankering to do some old
DOS gaming on. Don't ask me why I want to do this on a PS/2, it makes no
sense -- I just do. I lack any sort of sound device, however, and they
seem to be hard to find these days...
Anyone have an MCA sound card (something that is SoundBlaster compatible
would be very useful...) they'd be willing to sell or trade? I've got a
lovely M-Motion Video Adapter/A (capture video on your PS/2!) to get rid
of :).
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.
