Started #DOScember with some old time reconfiguring an old 486 PC. Added Gotek and CF card hard drive. It has a Sound Blaster 16 but could not get my Roland SBC-55 wavetable card going yet. Had to settle for a relisten of the Monkey Island theme on a Roland LAPC-I. #retrcomputing #vintagecomputer
Pictured is my work area to play around with some midi vintage goodness. My Sound Blaster 16 is being fed midi from my Roland LAPC-I card. #vintagecomputer #retrocomputer Pictured it the #Roland LAPC-I card with the MCB-1 midi connector box. Pictured is a close-up of the Roland LAPC-I card stuffed into the 486 pc.
