- cauterize 12y agoCare to explain what you mean by "sound blaster"?
- darrelld 12y agohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster It's a family of sound cards from the Win 9X era.
- cauterize 12y agoHa! Couldn't figure out the connection until I re-read the title.
- dragonwriter 12y ago> It's a family of sound cards from the Win 9X era. As the Wikipedia article you cite notes, SB isn't from the Win 9X era, it was a de facto standard prior to the Win 9X (i.e., late DOS era.)

- atonse 12y agoThanks for the reminder - Creative Labs and 3DFX to me bring back a ton of memories of high school.
- blt 12y agoI was gonna say something about feeling old because I remember the ISA bus. It was dying right around the time I started installing the family's PC upgrades myself. Nice stuff was PCI but our cheap modems and sound cards were still ISA. I guess gamers still know about PCI, but the average undergrad has probably never heard of a sound card.
