pnpdump seems to think my SB16PnP is a ViBRA:
$ cat /etc/isapnp.conf
....SNIP...
# Card 1: (serial identifier e5 ff ff ff ff 70 00 8c 0e)
# Vendor Id CTL0070, No Serial Number (-1), checksum 0xE5.
# Version 1.0, Vendor version 1.0
# ANSI string -->Creative ViBRA16C PnP<--
....SNIP...
i don't remember what it detects at boot time, it's been such a while
since i last rebooted, and bios messages don't end up in my logs.
Which type of ViBRA16 do you have? A quick websearch turned up several
different chips named "ViBRA16?? PnP"
