: 	Ensonic Wavetable sound card

I read on the XFree86 home page that the Mach64 card (ISA) won't work with
over 12 megs of RAM.  I enquired about the PCI version, but never got an
answer, and would be very interested, as I'm probably getting about the same
system (except SCSI instead of IDE, and 32 megs of RAM instead of 16.)

Any answer to this question would be greatly appreciated!
