- I have no intention to ignite a war, but just want to remind you that there
- will be a daughter board for the SB16 that use wave table synthesis. That
- is, SB16 will have both compatibility and wave table synthesis. And of
- course, the SB16 will not have any SB emulation problem that the GUS is
- now being critized.
-
- I don't intent to say that the GUS is inferior to SB16, it is still a good deal
- at a price ~$150. Phat, but I personally don't buy your point that considering
- to buy the SB16 is laughable, the winner is not quite clear as you have
- claimed. IMHO, which one is the best is still debatable, Phat, you have every
- right to insist in saying that GUS is the best, but don't expect everyone
- else in the world will agree on that.
