I just thought I would point out another source for a cheap soundcard for
MD. I had to get rid of my SBAWE64 Gold because my new motherboard has no
ISA slots.
I bought a Leadtek WinFast 4XSound PCI soundcard. It uses the CMI8738
chip like the MidiMan DIO 2448 and Zoltrix cards. It has a coax digital
output on the card itself, and comes with a toslink I/O daughtercard. It
also came with a TOSlink cable and an adapter for use with MD portables.
The manual is very MD-oriented, showing pictures of the card being used
with MD portables and MD decks. Price was $29.00 (plus $7.98 shipping)
from http://www.sg3d.com
I have not used the card yet, but supposedly the CMI8738 cards have a
bit-for-bit perfect digital output at 44.1kHz which seems like it would be
a lot better than an SB Live.
