heeh a friend of mine still has his Gravis Ultra Sound , also a very nice thing to have, I thought that the Gravis Ultra Sound the competitor was of the AWE32 and Turtle Beach Santa Cruz but i'm not sure of that , anyone more info of these great cards?

Yep, Gravis Ultrasound was a great competitor of Sound Blaster AWE32, it was also THE SOUND CARD of the demoscene, because Gravis made public much more low-level specs and programming docs for their GUS, than Creative for their AWE32.

Terretec also had a great one, I only lost it's name.

Maybe you mean Terratec EWS64?

Hum, I remember having some demos from Voyetra about the amazing sound this card can produce, but I really never used them. I can tell you the sound was pretty good (I remember playing Half-Life with it).

I can't tell you if the midi engine is as good as the ones you say, but it surely is one great card with great features and sound chips!

It is the same length as the Mercury sub-System. Well, maybe adding the additional memory to the AWE was a bit much but what else are you going to do with couple of 4 MB 30 pin sims you have just laying around

@OutOfRange

Hehe I have that exact same card, and I also have a bunch of 30pin dimms.... I have a slow rig with PII-400 (supports slot 1/Socket 370 VIA adaptor, which I have, up to 100 MHz FSB), but it has onboard Crystal sound card... and a free ISA slot. Is that card really good? If it is I'll try it... An extra ATA adapter is always really handy too, esp when burning CD's

And here's a REAL KICK
P4 Socket 478 with 1 AGP 4x-2x, 2 DDR RAM slots, USB 2.0, 4 PCI, AND 3 ISA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sad

kinda pricey though....

ANd here is a few S370 boards (sry, the prices are in canadian d001ars, but tigerdirect has branches in europe too)

Here's a few Socket A solutions from Chaintech

And one more with S478
http://www.chaintechusa.com/tw/eng/product_spec.asp?MPSNo=13&PISNo=28

and there was a whole bunch of S370 mobo's which I did not include
note that these are the motherboards that are still being produced........

and here's what DFI turned up (although this is ot the full list I think)

My SB AWE 32 CT 3900 is only 33cm and has just 2 connectors one for Creative/Panasonic Drive and the other just says IDE Interface. I sure do like it for DOS compatible games though.
