- Hi Everyone! Here is an update on our recently released sound card the Resound New Wave MCA. This card is for IBM Microchannel bus computers and is a functional clone of the Sound Blaster MCV which works like the Sound Blaster 2.
If you would like to buy one, or to read more about check it out here:

Thanks for watching!
3:32 Yeah you can definitely hear the high hat much better. Good call.
Yay this is outstanding indeed.
Thumbs up for doing this what many hoped but only you guys had balls the make MCA revolution 😸
Wish people still have IBM machine enjoy the card, it's awesome.
Other MicroChannel licensees: Tandy, Compaq (never shipped though), Nixdorf, NCR, Olivetti, Dell (don't believe they shipped though either), and a few more.
I would imagine they never shipped because VESA, EISA and PCI were significantly cheaper to design around and far more peripherals existed to utilize them
Going to need to pick one of these up
I have this card and it sounds great on many of the games on my PS/2 57 SX. First, I want to thank you for making an awesome product and bringing my DOS PC games to life. Wolf 3D sounds phenominal, and the original Civ and Sim City sound great. I have one issue though:
When playing the game, I have my sound set to ad-lip, sound effects set to sound blaster. However, whenever there's an earthquake in Sim City, my city goes up into a ball of fire! (But it sounds nice while it happens)
This is awesome! There's hope for my PS/2 model 50 to have sound, after all :D
I sure hope you have produced many, many, many children. We need more people like you!!!!
I bought this card a couple of weeks ago for my 8570-161. It works like a charm 🙂 Totally recommended!
Love your work Kevin! I already own a lot of the cards you designed and I was able to succesfully rebuild 2 Compaq KeyTronic keyboards using your outstanding foam and foil kits. Sadly you released your MCA variant just a few days after I ordered a Snark Barker from Monotech. It's excellent though how my model 56 SLC3 is now able to bark!
Keep up the good work! You're making a lot of retro afficianados very happy with your products!
19:40 made my day.
PS/2 was a desperate attempt by IBM to turn time backwards. There's a saying - Фарш невозможно провернуть назад. 😆
I’ll have to try that joystick enable tweak. Great vid!
LOVE everything you do. Any thoughts on a PS/2 MCA IDE board?
Yes, been working on one here and there as possible. It's being a little bit of a pain, but such is microchannel. I think I'm going to have to run one more PCB to get an issue ironed out, so it may be later this year. Other than the X16, it's my primary focus for now. It will probably be the last MCA card I make, so I'm trying to finish it before I move on to some other projects I've been putting off. :-)
I would buy that one in day one. Finding good ESDI disks is getting harder and it would be nice to be future proof.
Is an ESDI to IDE / SD possible? Something that would just fit into the DBA connector the current drive goes into without using and MCA slot? (I guess that only benefits the model 70) I've heard SCSI to ESDI is easier than IDE but not sure myself. Either way, it's very exciting stuff!
Great work! I like the white, clean PCB design. Will order one for my IBM's soon. :D The test sample sounds are nice too. I like this kind of music. What song is this?
That's the TexElec theme song! It was written by my friend from back in the day, Craig. Here's his info: facebook.com/threeclife
Is this available with a black or green PCB?
I guess this will at least appease the PS/2 weirdos out there
Correct, I am appeased. Already ordered one for my Blue Lightning upgraded PS/55 5551-T19!
I'm thinking of getting this for my IBM PS/2 Model P70. has anyone tried this card in a P70?
Yes, I have one and it works fine. Unfortunately, the joystick conflicts, but otherwise it works.
Anyone give this a try on a P70?
microphone input ?
I removed it from this card, because there is very little use for it. Almost no games support it, and a max 11KHz mono sample rate didn't really seem too useful.
@@TexElec will there be clones of Turtle Beach Systems, Inc. cards, for example, Pinnacle or Gravis Ultrasound MAX and Gravis Ultrasound PNP ? They have a huge potential, including for recording. (translated from google)
