I wouldn't call it new..mine is 6 months old :-)

Basically, yes.  It's an SB16 with a wavetable chip put on the end.  The 
sound is incredible, BUT I haven't tried itunder FreeBSD.  And if you 
intend on doing mbone anytime, DON'T buy it and get a GUS PnP instead.

Most DOS games nowadays have native support for it, and it sounds 
**wonderful**.

What is available for MIDI on UNIX?
