The soundblaster is for all intensive purposes 100% Adlib compatible.
It just has the added functionality of a DAC, game port, digitizer,
available MIDI connection, and (optional on newer model) 12 voice game
blaster compatibility.

The comment says it all. I recently picked up a few games with sound and a spell program for the youngun. These were asking for the COVOX Sound Master card. Does the Sound Blaster do COVOX besides being Ad Lib compatible? I'd rather get a board with broad application than a limited one since the older youngun is looking at buying a MIDI compatible keyboard. Ron Todd
