And there is a chance that your 486 might have a PCI slot or 2 as well. So my reccomendation is the Sound Blaster AWE 64. ISA and good. > Secondly, > do any of you know of where to get a program (one that works on a 486) > that can read text aloud, outputting a "voice" out of the soundcard? I don't know of a free stand alone program, but this is one of the coolest things I have found in a while. http://www.bell-labs.com/projects/tts/voices-java.html it is an online text-to-speech converter, which you can then save as a wav. there ya go. shaneb
