it's really weird to see tori dropping actual non-sql computer knowledge instead of just insulting people :pwn:
Computers are boring but my first PC compatible was an Epson QX-10 CP/M machine with an 8086 "bridgeboard" that was an IBM PC on an expansion card - you held down a key combination to boot to DOS instead of CP/M. My dad was given it in 1989 or so, way after it was obsolete, but it was fun to mess with.

I have an old xp system that I was given a few years ago that does nothing but serve as an audio passthrough; has an audigy 2 zs (one of the ones with a breakout box). Still works great.

Wow I'd like to be as smart as a computer
yes op in fact it have one in a pc right now its a p cool soundcard because it is compatible with everything

my e-peen card in that pc is a gravis ultrasound MAX upgraded to 1MB

a GUS is a MUST HAVE for DOS demoscene also to play modules in scream tracker 3, its digital sound is p good, better than sb16 so your doom gunshots sound CRISP and NOISELESS

i also have a yamaha db50xg midi daughterboard plugged on the sb16, its not as good as a roland sound canvas but its pretty good midi tbh it sounds better than most soundfont on AWE32 imo

Maybe you like playing vintage pc games or midi on actual hardware? It'd be kind of fun to have a real Roland MT-32 setup even though emulation is nearly as good.

cmon man theres nothing cool about that

why dont you do poo poo like work on akai samplers or the stuff jonny does. being able to put an ATAPI flash card reader in an MPC2000XL is a simple skill that can make you some nice change if you have the right customers

my rig: MPC2KXL with card reader where the disk drive was, 8 mono outputs expansion and doubled memory :cool: not the FX card because gently caress the FX card
