Hi all,

I'm putting together a machine for a friend from old parts.
I've rounded up several ISA sound cards.  By chance would anyone happen to
know what the differences are in their capabilities, and how to rank them
from "best" to "worst"?

1. Media Vison / Jazz 16 LMS
   (JAZZ16 MVD1216B / NCR DIGBIE2 LMS / Spectrum MVA416 / MVA514 based)
2. Diamond Pro16
   (Yamaha OPL YMF262-M / Crystal CS4248 / OPTi 82C929A based)
3. Creative CT2230 Sound Blaster 16
   (CT1747 OPL / CT1745A / CT1703-T / CT1741 based)
4. Creative CT2940 Sound Blaster 16(C16F PnP)
   (CT1978-TAP / CT2502-SDQ based)

Also 

5. Creative CT2760 Sound Blaster AWE32 (full-length w/ 2 30-pin SIMM sockets)
   (CT1971 / CT1741 / CT1745A / CT1748A / CT1701-T / CT1747 based)
Although I'm sure I can fit this full-size card into the machine.
   
thanks!
