AdLib Sound Card - Part 1: Unboxing, History, & Installing

Ever wonder about the first PC sound card standard? Or maybe you have fond memories. Check out this video of the history, unboxing and installation of the original Ad Lib Music Synthesizer Card! Dinky IBM PC speakers still cringe and cower in fear of the mighty YM3812 FM chip. Be sure and check out part 2 for examples of the AdLib card in action, using the original vintage hardware captured via line-in. It's some awesome. And yes, I said "greetings greetings" at the start of the video. That's what I get for rushing a video even more than usual! :D The background music in the first half of the vid is "Power Grid" and "Nightlife" from the SimCity 3000 soundtrack.
