[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Good price for SoundBlaster w/o CMS chips.

rdw2030@venus.tamu.edu (02/10/91)

So... what IS a good price for a SoundBlaster nowadays.  Also, is v1.5 of
the SoundBlaster the CMS-less variety?

Thanks.

Currently, the SB is going for around $145.  I've seen $139 on sale.  btw, the
CMS feature is not worth it.  I bought the SB in 9/90 and it came with the chip
s.

YES! My docs say v1.5  and I don't have CMS chips...

BTW, are the CMS chips worth buying?

NO.... CMS sounds are merely IBM beeps and squeaks (at least that's what it sou
nds like.)  Well.... maybe just a bit better since it's in stereo.
