A REAL SoundBlaster AWE64 in a briefcase. With 28MB RAM expansion. Designed for Cubic Player. Running FreeDOS. Vortex86 CPU / 512MB RAM. Battery powered, basically a laptop you'd never take to an airport 😆

@Lydie Jesus, it’s been decades since I used Cubic. And composed music in FT2 and ImpulseTracker. And Soundtracker. And Aegis Sonix..

@Lydie
Did you solder the MidiForge by yourself or bought it from Alex?

@Lydie nice! A long (25 years) time ago, my live rig was a Pentium 100 board with ATX PSU in a modified camera/flight case with an AWE64 Gold, running Reality soft synth and Cakewalk Pro. I didn’t have the money for an actual laptop 😀

Sadly no photos exist 😕

@Lydie @eobet So much love and nostalgia crammed into a single paragraph! I miss sitting huddled over my AWE32-equipped Pentium 90 with MSDOS 5, Cubic Player, and Impulse Tracker, making music long into the night and uploading it to a BBS somewhere.
