I'm waiting to see how the new Adaptec 1540 or 1572 (with floppy
controller) Fast SCSI-2 controller and sound card performs.  According
to Adaptec, it should be released this month at a list price of $399.
It features wavetable, Soundblaster and MS Sound System support.  The
April 12th PC Magazine has a description of it on page 54.  It appears
to be compatible with most CDROM drives.
