[sdiy] My New Project - PCSYNTH

[Johannes Öberg]

You call building an ISA card from scratch simple, but vanilla DMA
programming wouldn't be?! What is difficult about using the DMA on a
regular soundcard? Or is >44 khz output necessary?

I would suggest you start writing the software with the hardware
you've got (even if it's a lowly sound blaster), and if the results
don't please you, then build the sound interface. The sound routines
module will only be a very small part of the program and could be
easily changed when you have the rest of the program working.

That said, good luck, I would very much like to see any result you
come up with, especially since I have tons of old computers lying
around.
