Notice

SoundPiper 16/32 uses the original adapter ID of Tecmar HDE+ SCSI Host Adapter. Adapter ID 5130 is shared between these two adapters with the consequence that SoundPiper 16/32 and Tecmar HDE+ SCSI Host Adapter cannot functionally co-exist in the same system.

PS/2 FAQ v5.4 (1998):  The SoundPiper 16 is a state-of-the-art, high integration 16 bit stereo sound card for PS/2 Micro Channel Architecture personal computers. The SoundPiper 16 has a built in 5 channel mixer for both record and layback. It has stereo inputs for CD-audio, line-in, music synthesis, and digital audio, and a mono input for a microphone. It is now even better with the 32 bit and 32 bit 3D sound versions.
