Snagged a CT1320C Soundblaster 1.5 today, never used one before. I have used a Pro 2 before, how good is the 1.5? There are 2 empty sockets for CMS chips, are they needed or worth getting? |

I recently got an SB 1.5 as well, though mine has the CMS sockets filled. In my opinion the CMS chips are the only reason to use an SB 1.5 over an SB 2.0. As far as I know the CMS chips are off the shelf components and can be had relatively inexpensively. CMS sounds similar to Tandy/PCjr sound. I think the SB 1.5 makes a really interesting addition to an XT class machine. |
