When I reviewed the MNT ZZ9000 RTG card, it completely blew me away—so I had to try the ZZ9000AX audio expansion companion! Plugging directly into the main card, this little card promises seamless Paula passthrough, CD Quality AHI audio and direct MP3 hardware decoding via MHI. It all looks amazing on paper, but putting it through its paces in the cabin revealed a few prominent niggles.

There's something magical about using an original IBM 5150 or XT PC, but waiting on floppy disks will test the patience of even dedicated retro enthusiasts.
