The only non-SB16 we have bothered hacking to work is the ESS1688
chip in the IBM Thinkpad 560E. The PC's the department buys which can
run Plan 9/Brazil are still delivered with an ISA SB-compatible card
(although it only has an 8-bit DMA channel and not the 16-bit
one as well). We buy the PC's from American Northstar, www.surfusa.com,
you could mail Eblan Farris there (efarris@surfusa.com) and ask
where they get them.

We don't use sound much and haven't felt the need to invest in newer
chips while we have a pile of recycled SB-16's sitting on the shelf and
PC's still have ISA slots.
