   I'm quite sure that all of the problems with all of the vintage sound cards   
   are   bus speed related.   
      
   I have used many pc's. and laptops to interface nc and cnc machine tool's (   
   both using  a serial and parallel port)  ( rtl to ttl etc..chips on nc   
   machines)) computers. to communicate with machine tools.   
   Timing is every thing...   New stuff (computers) are way way to fast to deal   
   with old stuff, baud transfer rates were trick back then... we used to use     
   assembly language    
   subroutines ( In dos.) ,,to  match baud rate transfers to deal with delays in   
   speed.  Maybe a bus speed slowdown   emulator..program ,  may help   
      
   even when using a parallel port we used to use a ready to send strobe,,, line   
   on a bidirectional port,, older parallel cables would not work   
      
   borland   turbo basic ,, was the trick,,, You could control everything in a   
   dos program..and it had a compiler that could fit it all on a floppy diskettes.
