Roland do a SCC add-on for the Soundblaster, but according to latest
press you should really check out the new Yamaha XG daughterboard for
the Soundblaster. It has 676 instruments and a sound quality that apparently
surpasses the SoundCanvas. And it's only 150 UK pounds, which is far less 
than the Roland board.
