No, Brad was not the founder of NewTek. He did do early designs of the Toaster. - John Derp! Checked, he built the first Video Toaster but not the company. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Carvey Thanks for the correction! -- Ethan O'Toole

The only ones worth using that I'm aware of are Scream Tracker and Impulse Tracker and neither was around in the 16 bit ISA days pre-386, IIRC. I doubt Scream Tracker would be able to function on a 286 anyhow. It puts a 486DX2/66 at about 50% CPU load, from my recollection. The Amiga trackers
