AOpen / AcerOpen AW35 is a nice one. Uses the CS4237.
Yamaha cards should also be good ones. I don't have a manufacturer name
but maybe yamaha itself makes the boards.
Cards labeled '3D-sound' or similar are likely to be based on the
CS4237 or OPTI931 and thus should suit your needs.
Finally, cards labeled "16-bit compatible..." are probably WSS clones.
