A (rather lengthy) overview of the sound cards for the IBM PC that led up to 1991 and beyond, as well as how to properly emulate sounds and music from games of that time period.

Additional notes:
I wasn't personally around when said history happened; this is mostly information I managed to gather on Wikipedia and elsewhere. If you find inaccuracies, tell me and I'll note them down!

Obviously the CM-32L didn't actually have an LCD screen, but that doesn't stop Munt prom providing it (the software part was in the unit, but the actual display wasn't included, in order to cut the price).

Interestingly enough, Gravis actually went bankrupt because their UltraSound failed to compete with the SoundBlaster AWE32. So Creative sent not one, but two companies into bankruptcy, and using pretty much the same strategy every time!
