The Orpheus II LT - A Brand New ISA Sound Card That Ticks The Right Boxes!

Join me today as I take an in-depth look at Edro and Leo's (aka Keropi and Marmes) new Orpheus II LT ISA sound card! The Orpheus II LT is the next-generation update of the original Orpheus with numerous enhancements including even better audio quality. It also includes their fantastic PC-MIDI implementation, which I'll be putting through its paces with some intelligent-mode games as well as Serdashop's new Dreamblaster X2GS MIDI daughterboard.

I hope to do some more sound card reviews and retrospectives in the coming months and would welcome any feedback.
