Two things though; firstly, last time I heard, Gravis had gone bang,
so no more new GUS cards. Secondly, a mate of mine has a GUS Max
and it just doesn't work at all in any Pentium-class motherboard he
has tried (different chipsets, different manufacturers, etc). It just
can't assign either an IRQ or a DMA channel; it varies which. Doesn't
matter what OS. I've tried that board in my PC even. It just won't work.
It worked fine before Pentium though.

SB16PnP is about $65 Australian, which is probably mid $40s USD
at present, or lower, hardly $80-$90.
