I'm new to this subject, so please excuse the simplicity of the question.
A variety of computer games support a sound card, which I assume generates
audio signals (stereo?) for an external audio system. I've recently seen
an AdLib (sp?) music synthesizer card advertised for $149.
1. Is this AdLib music synthesizer card the same as the game support card?
2. Is the AdLib game support card the best?
3. Who makes the AdLib card?
4. Where is a good place to mail order it? I've never seen it advertised.
(Perhaps I read the wrong periodicals.)
Many thanks.

I've never seen it advertised. I have seen it advertised for US$99, and the SoundBlaster for US$159. I forget the company name, but they are in the back of PCMag (full page ad), and also in Computer Shopper (two page ad). Somewhere in Wisconsin, I recall. -- ___Mark S.
