Ask John Dyson he just recently got a Gus PnP Pro if we would switch back to a SB card ? 8) On the subject of soundcards, I am looking for a cheap NON SB card for FreeBSD and was wondering what people think about the Ensoniq AudioPCI? http://www.audiopci.ensoniq.com/ The cards are cheap like $70 or so and should be easy to configure pretty much like a GUS PnP.
