I'm just wondering if anyone out there has any experience with the
IBM Music Feature. It is suppose to be an FB01 on a PC compatible
board. MIX sells it for $499. I'm wondering if it would be worth
getting.

Sounds weird to me... I think Yamaha still has the rights to the
FM architecture. I've a hard time swallowing the idea of them
licensing the Fb01 circuitry to an OEM.
Not to mention that the Fb01 is wirth about $200-$250. Do you get
anything other than the tone generator (Sequencer? Patch editor?)
for your $500???
For $499 you could easily buy 2 Fb01s....

Yes, you also get a PC Midi interface (not MPU-401 compatible).
Normally these are big bucks.
