An ISA sound card and CD-ROM emulator, powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico

PicoGUS can emulate Gravis UltraSound, Sound Blaster 2.0 / AdLib (OPL2), CMS/Game Blaster and Tandy 3-Voice, and supports MIDI output with MPU-401 intelligent mode emulation. PicoGUS is also an ODE (optical drive emulator) for DOS and Windows 95/98 PCs with its Panasonic/MKE CD-ROM emulation.

I have not decided what PC to install it into yet but I am thinking the Amstrad PC9512 is a contender.

I purchased mine via a UK reseller called Flamelily IT
