I still use by sw60xg card. Damned good MIDI sound generator and uses no IRQ,
no DMA, the system does not know it's there (it does take an ISA slow and
these have gotten kind of rare nowadays). Forget ALSA support--use snd-mpu401
with the port set to where that card's jumpers are set--Yamaha recommended
this when there were no drivers yet for windows-2000. Nice dinosaur.
The non-opensource xgedit windows-95 program runs fine in WINE, but having
something native is a big plus. Will give this baby a try.

well, this thingie was in my tool-chain for quite some time. it was only

the announcement today on the very last days of summer'09:)
as said on the announcement, the db50xg daughter board it's a rare piece
of junk. these days you can only find it on ebay as any soundcard
providing a waveblaster connector that you need to plug it in.
all my boxes have one of these, usually piggy backed on a turtle beach
santa cruz pci sound card. it works perfect. but i do also have a pair
of those stand-alone, in good ol'solder-iron-diy way from an elektor
magazine pcb design (ca. june 96 iirc). btw, there's a german company, i
guess located in karlsruhe (geist-electronic.de), that sells all parts,
pcb and custom metal casing for you to revive this precious niche project.

Ten years after,
nothing to do with Alvin Lee's but one by-product of this
über-procrastinator of yours truly :) here goes one more strike to the
Linux Audio ecosystem.
Hi Rui,
I discovered this one when I was writing my report on audio/MIDI
projects on SourceForge, I wondered then why you hadn't announced it.
Alas, I don't have the hardware to test it, but I'm glad you made an
editor for the piece.
