I'm with you on this one. I've got two ISA SBAwe/32 cards that just keep
going, and going, and going... Never had any Linux install fail to pick
them up and run beautifully. Sound great, too, with slots for RAM
onboard and the wave table. Woo! Hmmm? Could I get quadrophonic sound if
I put them both in one machine?

Really? I've never had a problem running a single ISA card in an
otherwise PCI machine. The single card being the sound cards mentioned
above.
