I'm getting my hardware ready for Quake (and Quake-like) games.  Besides 
getting a Rendition-based 3D card in the near future, the only other weak spot 
in my system is the Sound Blaster 16 SCSI-2 card.  I like it because it's so 
multifunctional -- in addition to just functioning as a sound card, I hook 
all of my MIDI keyboards to the card, and it's also my NEC SCSI CD-ROM drive 
controller, plus my Sidewinder joystick port.

But the FM sound is getting old.  I know about the old WaveBlaster 
daughtercard, and wonder if this would be a viable upgrade.  I do have a 
Roland MT-32, but a lot of games don't support it properly anymore.  My ISA 
slots are pretty filled up (I have one left).  Does anyone have any 
suggestions for upgrading?

Thanks
Mark
