What's the motivation or use for this?

  1. Retrocomputing. 2. This is a Free implementation. 100% of the schematic, PCB and mechanical design is released under CC By-SA 4.0. So, it's for retrocomputing hobbyists, history preservation, it's also pretty educational and can be used as a model to teach (or self-teach) electronic design to the new generation without the overwhelming complexity (not limited to this, it's a common aspect of retrocomputing in general).

  Fun? I have an old computer where I might be able to use this for some of the games. I have another with a GUS MAX but not all games supported that. Sound Bastard (as we GUS owners called it) was pretty universal!

  Instead of directly answering the question this time, let me ask you: It’s an old, classic sound card. What do you think it’s used for?

  i did it for fun, and also because real sound blaster 1.0 cards are going for a lot of money on ebay. i don't actually own an original card, this was reverse engineered entirely from photos.

    As a software guy I’m... astounded. That’s incredible to me. Hats off to you, brother. And thanks for sharing your experience.
