The following cards are for PC's. Some support Micro Channel
but all support ISA (AT-bus). I haven't tried out these cards
yet except the Sound Blaster. It is a fun card and works with
many games. Drawbacks: not a true Hi-fi stere and not compatible
with Windows. If anyone has other information re: Multimedia boards,
please post! Thanks...
