Description: Sound Blaster over the parallel port?! YEP. This one's all about the DSP Solutions Digispeech Plus, a sound device for DOS and Windows PCs that connects via the parallel port. It's not restricted to simple OPL2/3 stuff, nor is it a Covox Speech Thing/DSS clone. The DS311 simply plugs in, runs a TSR, and lets you select Sound Blaster mode in classic computer games using nothing more than the humble printer port. Fantastic. ● LGR links: patreon.com/LazyGameReviews twitter.com/LazyGameReviews facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● Here's an archive of the Digispeech disks: archive.org/details/digispeech-plus-disks ● Check out VWestlife's video on the Portable Sound Plus: youtube.com/watch?v=t7VxWbCgWHk ● Music licensed from: epidemicsound.com #LGR #Retro #Technology
