Personally i think GS support is a waste of time, given the amount of people who are actually using GS, and the amount of programs for the Spectrum taking advantage of it. The most popular sound interfaces for the spectrum, AY and COVOX are supported, and that is enough for me. Personally, i'd prefer getting compatibility with ISA SoundBlaster/compatible cards, since they have more possibilities than GS, with Adlib, wave playback, and MIDI support, and they are cheap if you find them second hand.

Perhaps it would even be possible making GS emulation for SoundBlaster cards in software?

Oh, and one more thing...
If you make better sound card than GS for your machine,
and add compatibility (in emulation way or other) with old, good GS standard -
you can forget about connecting GS to sprinter, about producing motherboard with GS on the board and other, similar ideas..........

Not bad idea... We can open this poll after finishing of "CP/M for Sprinter" poll.

I think that Sprinter is a good work.
I think that the most of potential clients aren't only Speccy nostalgy but also persons that want a cheaper computer for easy works that don't want to buy an expensive Pentium. Ok for the support of speccy but Sprinter in my opinion must have its standard and its programs...
CP/M could be another possibility for potential clients because you have more software that run with Sprinter

It can be found out by same poll too.

Hehehe, suddenly appeared here two strange, unknown persons, who hates general sound very much and they don't want it to be implemented into Sprinter. Give me a brak, I don't believe in such coincidences.
If I want sommit for my comp, I am interested in this. If not - I simply don't care. So if somebody cares about #not# implementing some stuff to Sprinter, I found it [censored] suspected. That's simple.

"I think that the most of potential clients aren't only Speccy nostalgy but also persons that want a cheaper computer for easy works that don't want to buy an expensive Pentium. "
-----------------
Oooooooooh, You must be joking. Or You are not this who You're talking You are.
People wanting cheaper computer?? Buying it from miles-distance, from Russia? My humble man, only citizens of Russia can see this matter in this way. So don't [censored] to me that You are Italian or sommit.
#Everybody# who lives on the West, to have a cheaper computer, will buy PC 486 (or something similar) or Amiga. Nobody will invest money to buy some not-known computer from far country, You are simply naive or You are lying.

Oh, yeah - next one...

"The most popular sound interfaces for the spectrum, AY and COVOX are supported"
------------
Covox is the most popular interface??? Where?!?!? In Sweden maybe?? Are You so [censored] big coneser of Spectrum-society, if You know that covox is the most popular?!?! So probably there is huge zx-society in Sweden. But it's interesting, why I have never heard about ANY zx-maniac from Sweden. Strange people started to appear here. Well-informed Speccy-fan from Sweden, known by nobody.
My good man, covox is the most popular in Russia, You should be better in lying if You intend to do it still.
And I still say: if I don't use some hardware, I don't care if it #is# implemented or #not#. If You care to #not# implemente general sound - it is transparently suspected.

I will probably quit visiting this forum, as strange things started to happen here.

Additional info from me, probably the last one:
actually I don't care too much if GS will be added to Sprinter or not. It's possible I will buy this 'puter anyway. But I don't like when people using fact they are anonym, and says some strange stuff on various forums.

"Perhaps it would even be possible making GS emulation for SoundBlaster cards in software?"
----------------------
Yes - that's what is more interesting for me.
SoundBlaster in Sprinter. And - yes, indeed - it would be nice if it could emulate general sound too...

Easy, easy...
By the way, 90% (several tens) of Sprinter users lives outside Russia. Today Sprinter users lives in 14 countries:
Spain, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Poland, Czech Rep., Austria, Denmark, UK, Holland, Sweden, Belarus, USA, Argentina.

I think that 110 Dollar computer is very cheaper... ok ok... I think that GS is a good thing in Sprinter... But I spoke about target (users) of Sprinter: not only speccy nostalgy users but also persons that want a cheaper pc inside Russia or outside
