[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] What DSP chip does the sound blaster use ?????

Hi,
	Does anyone know what DSP chip the SB uses to digitize/playback voice
The part number on the  DSP (chip is something like INTEL 9028D
I checked the IC master and Intel catalogs, I could not find a chip
with anything close to 9028D.
However, I do know that Intel has a 2920 DSP with on chip D/a and A/D
It has a lot of f{nctions and characteristics very similar to SB's
IS the DSp on the SB a custom /modified version of 2920.

I called creative lab's technical support, The person that I talked to 
told me to buy the software development kit and I *might* be able  to find
it there. (Being a poor college student, I dont have the extra $100
to get the SDK).  But I really want to find out what DSP 
SB uses and how.

COULD someone tell me ?? 
Thanks alot
