If you’ve ever tried to build a period-accurate 486 gaming rig, you know the struggle: you want the high-end graphics, the killer MIDI music, and a way to transfer files without carrying a literal mountain of floppy disks—but you’ve already run out of ISA slots.
Enter the SonicVision Pro from the team at PC MIDI.eu. This new multipurpose ISA expansion card is essentially a “Swiss Army knife” for retro computing enthusiasts. Instead of hogging four separate slots, this single card packs a punch by combining four essential functions:
- Graphics: A Cirrus 5434 VGA controller with 2MB VRAM (perfect for Windows 3.1).
- Sound: An Opti controller paired with a genuine Yamaha OPL3 for that sweet FM synthesis.
- MIDI: A dedicated interface designed to unlock the full potential of external modules like the legendary Roland MT-32.
- Networking: A built-in LAN card so you can ditch the floppies and actually use a home network.
Production is slated to kick off in mid-October 2026, with pricing hovering around €185–€195. They’re planning only one or two limited batch runs, so if you’re looking to complete your dream DOS build, you might want to move fast.
