Sluggers - thanks for tolerating the above!
I'm not very familiar with the sound cards mentioned. 

Do any of you sluggers know where I can obtain a SB PC1 16 card with 
an ES1373/ES1371  chipset? 

I've done some burrowing on the web but it looks this product 
is older and no longer produced, supported or sold anywhere.

Do any of you sluggers happen to have one floating around that 
you want to sell?  Even better!    
If I go to one of the local PC shops around here at Penrith, I usually get the 
runaround "we'll take your money now and get it for you in 2 weeks" 
deal.   Also I am certain they will try to flog me something unsuitable
since they won't have this old board in stock anyway.
