Keep your GameBlaster for the CMS chips for upgrading your SoundBlaster.

Mail order prices for the SB go as low as US$139, and are frequently US$149.

Look in PC-Mag or ComputerShopper for specific dealers.  Any where will do,
as this is a shrink-wrap product (as opposed to the average 386 clone).
