You say: YMF724-based DS-XG cards can be had for FIFTEEN BUCKS or even LESS! This for the equivalent of both an MU50 (sans QS300 and DOC modes) PLUS a VL-70m! I have a Sound Blaster Card, which does a poor job with XG (wrong instruments).

1) I tried the Yamaha 100 Soft Synth; nice but the hardware you mention above is cheaper than buying the "key" to unlock the trial software.

2) Can you have two sound cards in a PC at the same time? E.g., switch from one to the other when desired?

3) Where is it that you can get this YMF724 based card for $15???

Thanks, Bob
