How can one make a weird 386/486 setup even quirkier? Lets add a sound card that's never been. I present you this Logitech-made Pro Audio Spectrum 16 clone. I impulse-bought this a while ago after watching a PAS video by Necroware. 😅 But I never even tested it until now. Works like a charm.

The 486DLC cannot really keep up with high mixing rates, especially in many channel modules, but 4-8 channel MODs and S3Ms in Inertia Player 1.22? We'll call it "period correct".
