Sound Blaster 1.5 and Gravis Ultrasound PnP Clone Review!

With the prices of classic sound cards reaching all-time highs, modern clones and reproductions are becoming attractive alternatives. Today I’ll be reviewing two clones created by David E Larsson. The first is a clone of the Sound Blaster 1.5 and the second, the Gravis Ultrasound Plug and Play. Both are 100% compatible with the originals and feature all the same features, bugs and limitations too. David also includes some minor enhancements without sacrificing anything in the way of compatibility.
