Technical Support for Guillemot Products

Guillemot's MaxiSound Home Studio Pro 64 takes the prize for being the most powerful, most versatile, and most expandable card in this roundup. The HSP64 was the only card whose synth could be expanded (from 64 to 96 voices) with a snap-on module. It was the only ISA card with a DSP
	powerful enough to accelerate DirectSound 3D. Its 4MB of onboard sample RAM can be expanded to 20MB. It supports up to four speakers. It boasts S/PDIF input and output. The Home Studio Pro 64's feature list goes on and on, but most importantly, this sound card
sounds absolutely gorgeous. And it offloads all sound processing from the CPU, so it doesn't drag down system performance even though it's on the ISA bus.
