No problemo....me thinks any soundblaster compatible PCMCIA card
should fit the bill - I think Yamaha OPL Sax chipset based cards are
still being made. You should be able to find them at any of the
exchange fairs - I'm not sure how it works in your country. Cheers and
good luck. Most probably BSD will auto-configure such a card.
Cheerio,
