That Compaq portable looks like a 100% rip-off of the Kaypro.

But does the Kaypro have an SB16? I didn't think so.

Nor does the Compaq one.

What is an SB16?

 



Sound. Blaster. 16. A FM synthesis sound card.

WTF? that Compaq doesn't have a Sound Blaster 16. I suppose maybe you could add one if it has available ISA slots but it looks like a pretty contained unit (maybe I'm wrong).

I bet you can't.  I bet it only has 8bit expansion slots, not 16.  The SB 16 requires a 16bit isa port.  You could add a Soundblaster Pro though probably.  But then would be be able to run anything with how much ram the driver would take?

Compaq Portable II
80286 personal computer (1986)

this is a DOS 286 machine, and sound is generated using the Yahama OPL/3 FM chip included on the Soundblaster 16 cards. We use a freeware DOS based sequencer program called Sequencer Plus Gold. The OPL/3 is good for drums, some bass, and noisy guitar-like stuff. And with a Boss Heavy Metal Pedal it totally rules

That's still not a SB16 though, it's just one of the chips that was on it.

My bad. It's still FM though. ^_^

Yeah, well, the Kaypro had a futuristic sound chip capable of generating tones of varying pitch! Who needs FM when you can have a simple beep?
