The Sound Blaster 16 WavEffects was released in 1997 as a cheaper and simpler redesign of the Sound Blaster 16. It came with Creative WaveSynth also bundled on Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold , a physical modeling software synthesizer developed by Seer Systems (led by Dave Smith ), based on Sondius WaveGuide technology (developed at Stanford's CCRMA ).
Most games in the mid-1990s had genuine support for the PAS cards, [1] thus the lack of Sound Blaster Pro and Sound Blaster 16 compatibility was not much of a problem.

SCSI Multimedia Commands (MMC) is a standard defining a SCSI/ATAPI based command set for accessing and controlling optical disc readers/writers (any device of type 05h). Thus, optical drives for the compact disc , DVD , and Blu-ray disc fall under this specification.
MCI makes it very simple to write a program which can play a wide variety of media files and even to record sound by just passing commands as strings. It uses relations described in Windows registries or in the [MCI] section of the file system.ini. One advantage of this API is that MCI commands can be transmitted both from the programming ...
The sound card Sound Blaster AWE32 PNP CT3990 had a Plug-and-Play ISA Bus interface chip (large square chip, mid of bottom row).. The term Legacy Plug and Play, [1] also shortened to Legacy PnP, [2] describes a series of specifications and Microsoft Windows features geared towards operating system configuration of devices, and some device IDs are assigned by UEFI Forum.

Other technologies which use the SCSI command set include the ATA Packet Interface, USB Mass Storage class and FireWire SBP-2. In SCSI terminology, communication takes place between an initiator and a target. The initiator sends a command to the target, which then responds. SCSI commands are sent in a Command Descriptor Block (CDB).
