I think the PCI sblive would not play midi files with OSS sound system,
only ALSA, which I have no idea how to use. I gave up on them and put in
AWE64 (which you can't add RAM to and may come with only 1MB, I forget).
But it is getting harder to find newer computers with enough ISA slots for
the AWE cards.

What potential? Only advantage I could find it is did not use up an ISA
slot, which I need for modems, MGA cards, older scsi cards, PCMCIA
controller cards, I/O cards for computers with dead onboard
IDE-floppy-serial-parallel controllers.... I have some computers with
only two ISA slots.
