This has to stop:

Jack Tramiel was no innovator. The team of people he was lucky enough to have working for him were the innovators. He was repeatedly detrimental to the final fate of Commodore, Atari and their machines.

"We need to build computer for the masses", basically means "we need to sell as many as we can, therefore we must aim at a bigger market". All that Tramiel cared about was his bank balance. Just talk to anyone working with him back then and get a whiff of reality.

The other motherboards introduce much artifaction and distortion in the sound. It just doesn't sound right, there are sounds that are too low and you can't discern them, the bass is non-existent andsome sounds just don't sound properly.

Believe me I was of the thought that all these were exaggerations because they usually referred to the amplification circuit, but I hear many more problems than just that.

Oh edit to say: my shitty motherboard was VA7, that's the most common one.
For those interested, here's an in-depth description of Genesis/Megadrive motherbaords:

By the way, does the interface work properly on PAL systems too? I wonder about frequency tables and speed-related problems (everything runs slower on PAL Megadrives)

The h0ff is being unstoppable lately!`

PS: DCS didn't win the Oldschool compo, that would have been some ridiculous namevoting. RNO did with a really nice OCS demo!
It's ridiculous: Elude stops doing the boring flyby shit last year and Madwizards win over Elude with yet another boring flyby demo

This show was siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!
Still tired, can't report any more

This is TODAY!!!!!!

First off, milkytracker (a copy of FT2 which is inspired by PT), needs the SDL implementation for AmigaOS and therefore a super expanded Amiga to run at any decent speed (060 or PPC)., if at all on a 680x0.

Why would I even't use that? I have a PC I could run Milkytracker in if I was so inclined. BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT. Milkytracker only supports the MOD format. That doens't even mean it makes and plays MODs like an Amiga running ProTracker. There's a reason the replay routine is special and proper players of MOD files like Modizer, XMPlay or Deliplayer implement a 680x0 emlation core to run the MODs.
It's how trying to say "hey why don't you play yoir MID files on any soundcard?". Because even if an OPL3 and an MT32 can play MID files, they don't sound even close to the same.

Why would I want to make MODs? Because I want to. And no I don't use an A500, I have a modestly expanded A1200. I 'm just not trying to use it to do modern tasks that make no sense at all.

I could ask you "why do you want to use real chips if you have emulators?".

He's right, this is how the AHI stream driver for Paula works. You can even do 12 bit samples.

I wouldn't do that on an SX-64, you can easily fry the SID with external input and he's gonna be mad when he screws the SX up.
It's just pass through, if you don't pass it through filters, so there shouldn't be any audio loss..
