If you owned an IBM Compatible PC during the 80s or 90s then you'll likely know the ordeal of setting up peripherals such as Sound cards. Before diving into a game, you had to make sure that it was setup to recognise your Soundblaster or Adlib card. This was done through an I/O Port address, an IRQ and a DMA channel. This video explores exactly what these things are, how they relate to your PC and why Plug & Pray was introduced to make our lives easier. *Please consider supporting the channel on Patreon*: https://www.patreon.com/nostalgianerd?ty=h You'll find exclusive rewards, early access, monthly boxes and a whole lot more on offer there. ☟Sharing☟ If you wish to share this video in forums, social media, on your website, *please do so*!
