- The only difference between SB 1.0 and SB 1.5 is the fact that 1.5 doesn't
- have the CMS chips built in. CMS chips are needed for Gameblaster compatbility,
- but no games now support Gameblaster (an old standard that tried to compete
- with AdLib's original FM). Other than that, it's the same hardware. 1.5 also
- comes with some other software like Dr. Sbaitso and SBTalker, programs that
- didn't come with SB 1.0 -- therefore, the Spectrum Holobyte support person you
- talked to doesn't know what he/she was talking about. Btw, the PAS-16 is
- SB 1.5 compatible (though Links 386 Pro tells me that my PAS-16 is a SB 2.0).
