Hi Corey,
You can watch the second episode on the Discovery Canada website as well.

I think it's a great show with a good variety of items. My only feedback

You can only watch them in Canada and the first episode is the only one you can
watch even if your in Canada without a cable subscription.

Thanks.
The video does cut out before my “creator” credit, but friends in Canada took a
screen shot of it for me since it’s one of the last credits.

And I'd have told them to keep walking! But really, it's a video
games/kitchy electronics show; they're not hardcore computer
collectors. I don't even know what a show about "us" would look
Many of the 8-bit ones go for quite a bit more. There was an SB 1.5 that
went for $200 recently, and a Game Blaster went for $400! Once you go past
the SB Pro the prices drop a lot, SB 16s (especially the Vibras) are dirt
cheap. I think people have a fascination for the old Creative CMS chips
Replace some with all and you have it. TV programs like these are fully
scripted months in advance.

It's a DOS PC emulator for modern PCs, mainly for playing old games.

I think changing the bus would alter things enough to be a problem. Can
games expecting an 8 / 16 bit ISA SoundBlaster work with a PCI
counterpart? Or is there enough difference that it would take new
drivers / code?

Take a peek on eBay sometime. ISA Soundblaster cards go for stupid coin.

I equate the reproductions to kit cars. If you are wanting something to play
/ drive without angsting about damage, then IMHO, reproductions & kits are a
great way to go. Just don't pretend that they are the real thing. Know that
they are a reproduction / kit and enjoy the experience.
I've started seeing similar with old sound cards. I'm following someone
on Twitter that's recreating vintage Sound Blaster cards. I've seen
others that I can't remember the make / model of.
