The major difference is, that the SOUNDBLASTER has stereo-sound, and the AD-LIB only mono-sound. You can play sampled sounds with the SOUNDBLASTER, too, which isnt possible with AD-LIB. The SOUNDBLASTER has a possibility to advance to MIDI.(about 140 DM) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ! ccc_ball@dulruu51.bitnet ccc_ball@rzmain.rz.uni-ulm.de ! !
