Are we talking apples and pairs? Roland makes a midi card, but the
street price I was quoted was MUCH less than $700. Do they also make
an A/D, D/A card? If so, I'd like to hear more about it, but I'd REALLY
doubt that the card would be compatible with programs written for the
Soundblaster or Adlib cards. 

There are many 12-bit A/D, D/A cards for the MCA, and a few 16-bit cards,
but that's a different market, and the boards are generally run from $700
to $1500, depending on max sampling rate, # of bits, # of channels, and
other features.
