From what I remember, the game supports mockingboards, the ae phasor, a midi
interface, but I didn't see the //gs sound option (didn't see it and I remember
reading something about the maximum number of voices,etc.. but its all fuzzy
right now).

As for the game itself, its amazing, its almost a prerequest to finish Ultima
IV before starting on U5, only because the map is almost exactly the same as
the U4 game, and if you start out fresh in U5, you have to complete the quest
to become the Avatar, or you can transfer your old U4 character over to U5.
Only complaints are that you go through so much food so quickly, real quick,
in fact, its one of the major problems with big groups (more food eaten up).
other than that, its real interesting game.
