Does anyone on the net have any information about the Sound Blaster card
recently released by CMS?  I've seen the review in Compute, but that seemed
to be more hype than anything.  CMS claims that the board will work with
programs made for their Game Blaster card and also for the Adlib card.  
What I'd like to know is exactly how compatible the card is (has anyone 
tested it with Adlib software; did it work? did it work well?), and how
well the other features of the board are implemented (ie. sampling, MIDI
[a $50 option], etc.) For example, what is the maximum sampling rate of the
card?  (I know the MIDI implementation is not Roland MPU-401 compatible)

Anyone have the answers?
