I finally have a Wavetable expansion! If you have an ISA soundcard, you might want to have a look at this amazing project! For little money, you can build your own Wavetable expansion board which will upgrade your soundcard to level you would have never expected! You will get full General MIDI support as well as Roland MT-32/CM-32L.
