I don't think Karl's reply implied that you 'didn't know exactly what
you were asking' in any way. That said, I'm willing to go the extra
mile and flat out state the fact that you didn't know what you were
asking: the General MIDI standard did not exist in 1990. The original
Wing Commander supports LA Synth MIDI, the only sort that Roland
produced cards for at the time (Roland cards being what Karl suggested
you look into...).

(Wing Commander II also shipped just before the General MIDI standard
was unveiled in 1991...)
