- The Ultrasound isn't meant to be your typical SB clone. The board is so
- jammed packed with components for wavetable synthesis that there would
- be no room had Gravis wanted to incorporate the FM chip required for
- complete SB compatibility. The SBOS TSR that the Ultrasound uses for
- backward compatibility with SB software works with most games without
- any impact on performance. The SB emulation isn't perfect, but once
- your hear what the Ultrasound is capable of, you'll see why so many
- people have chosen this card over many others with much better SB
- compatibility. In its native mode, the Ultrasound's closest rival is
- the MT-32/LAPC-1. The SB/SBPro/PAS-16 don't even compare.
