MTU started shipping the Microsound AT-DSP56 board in 1989, running Microeditor software. It plugs into a 386, 486, Pentium and Pentium II motherboard, in a 16-bit ISA-bus slot on the motherboard. It is a 13 inch long-slot board. For eight years, this board gave the Microeditor software full advantage of hardware assist to perform the critical audio math processing, and running at the highest speeds available. With the introduction of the more powerful Krystal DSP Engine in 1996, the Microsound DSP board became obsolete.
