I have the interface box for one of these, but not the card. Anyone know
where I can get one? It's the 8-bit XT MIDI card.

Would a Creative SB1-like card do ?

Nope. Genuine Roland. The Soundblaster is software-compatible with the
MPU-401, but it's completely different hardware.

I believe I have one packed away. Contact me off-list if you're interested.

Ouch ... I have the card, and would love to get the box:)
Back in the old days, it was the best sound add on for
a game PC ... Well, I payed some 500 Bucks.

P.S.: I know a guy who has still one or two new in box,
but he still belives that they are worth money.

No doubt. I'm actually building a game PC right
now. Probably with a
486DX-33. For old games I have lying around. Most of these games support

No idea. Your Idea sounds great, although I'd take a DX2.
Back then my gaming machine was a DX-50 (a real 50, no
DX2-50 :), and it worked great for all games. A DX2-66
is the closest you can get. Of course there's always an
AMD 5x86-160 ... Eventualy the fastest 486 of all times.
I had one overclocked to 200 MHz in a 50 MHz Board.
In fact, when thinking about building a low speed Game
machine for early 90s games, I would go for a 60-200 MHz
Pentium, or at least a PCI bus 486.

He'll call me tonight (I just talked to his sister).
