> DVD drives weren’t even a thing when people stopped buying soundcards. pretty sure these happened at around the same time. Single data point: my 486-era machine (92): - bolt on sb16+cdrom as part of 'multimedia upgrade' (MPC II) my pentium-I era machine (96): - came with sb16+cdrom (MPC III) my pentium-II era machine (98): - came with integrated DVD-ROM + ac97 audio none of these were particularly 'special' as far as 'what people were buying then'
