-
- Both AT bus and Microchannel bus versions are available. Either one
- is $235 through IBM Direct (800-IBM-2-YOU, U.S. only) or $222
- educational (order on campus).
-
- There's a little bit of information on them in the PS/2 Pricing and
- Configuration Utility, available via anonymous ftp from
- ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. Look for filename icpausa.zip (or something roughly
- equivalent). Check file /pub/os2/00Index for location.
-
- You can also get information on any IBM multimedia hardware or
- software by calling the IBM Multimedia Information Center (see the
- OS/2 FAQ List for the telephone number).
-
- M-Audio is a pretty decent adapter, as far as I can tell, and the
- price tag isn't outrageous. I would also take a look at the Creative
- Labs SoundBlaster series, by the way.
