Collection of ISA devices

Open andreas-jonsson opened this issue 11 months ago • 4 comments

It would be fun to have a large collection of ISA devices available.

  • [x] Adlib card
  • [x] Generic VGA card (https://github.com/andreas-jonsson/virtualxt/issues/5)
  • [ ] Tandy Graphics (https://github.com/andreas-jonsson/virtualxt/issues/42)
  • [ ] Tandy Audio (https://github.com/andreas-jonsson/virtualxt/issues/42)
  • [ ] Soundblaster
  • [ ] Diamond Trackstar (https://youtu.be/A-6AKe2pvsQ)
  • [ ] Covox Speech Thing
  • [ ] Disney Sound Source
  • [ ] Gravis Ultrasound (Is there software support?)

...suggestions?

Gravis Ultrasound would be great if we're talking soundcards

Never had one of those. Could be cool to try. But are there any 8086/V20 software that supports it?

I realize there is not a lot of software that supports soundcards on these machines. :)

To be fair I had never heard of an XT system with an Adlib before, but back then I had a potato Amstrad PC-1512 :)

The "G-List" looks like a good resource for DOS games supporting Ultrasound, but as the card was first sold in '92 I doubt anything would work natively on a V20 or 8086: http://www.gravisultrasound.com/files/documentation/GLIST.TXT

For completeness's sake, I'd add the Pro Audio Spectrum and Media Vision Thunderboard sound cards
