I'm not sure how this little card eluded us for all these years, but I've found probably the best SB/SBPro/SB16 ISA sound card clone around *with* a wavetable header.  It's the Audio Excel (AV310) based on the CMI8330 chip.  Actually, I can't take credit for the discovery, so look here:

Since the true test of any DOS card is compatibility with older Sierra games, I'd love to see it put through it's paces if anyone wanted to acquire one.  It works well for me so far, but I don't own many DOS games.

Cool! Smiley

Classic case of a clone out-doing the original (Which isn't too hard in the case of Creative's sound cards... Wink ).

I just got myself one from ebay (about 5 euros incl. shipping from the UK to the Netherlands) so I'm gonna give it a try. Smiley
