Aren't the PAS more or less history at this point?  I thought
they were hard to get, and weren't necessarily even being built
now?  Just 2nd-hard scuttlebutt but I would guess that life
in the "soundcard" lane on the pcs is a hard way to make money,
especially when you are competing with "creative logic" (very
creative in the way they (ab)use IRQ 7). :->
