$70 for a sound card? that's just stupid. Probably same people that want to
run win2k on a 386 model 80...
Vibra is a chipset that creative labs uses in their sound cards. Actually, if
you just want .wav file sounds and MIDI, an IBM ACPA MCA sound card will
work. That's what I'm looking for.

I see, I thought it was a line of cards or something. One of my SB
cards has Vibra printed right on the PCB in big letters.
Will the IBM ACPC work in both DOS and Windows? How about 98? I have
heard things about the other Microchannel sound cards working in only
Windows, or only DOS but not both.
I'd like to get one for this machine, a model 80 with a Reply Corp.
motherboard and Kingston Turbochip. I run Win98 on it, However, an I
don't know if the other sound cards will work.
I figured I'd go a little higher than normal on the SoundBlaster, but I
wasn't prepared to beat 7 bucks. The seller was correct in staing that
they are rare, but i wasn't going to pay that much!

The M-ACPA/A is not really a sound card in the traditional sense. It was
not designed to do real time playback. It was designed more as a card for
annotating multimedia presentations with audio. It will work with DOS and
Windows, and 95/98 with some finagling. It will NOT, however be
compatible with most games. Also, it probably will not do 44.1K/16.

P.S. You can still get brand new ChipChat wavetable sound cards.

Depending on what you want to do (ie. playing games) the Soundblaster Pro
MCV might be the best bet for some people. You would be surprised how
many people spend the serious money on the ChipChat Soundcard-32.
