I think it's only a matter of time before Creative Labs gets a clue
and jump on the portable bandwagon.  I have no doubts that they can
manufacture such a device.  The problem I see is the way we address
the audio cards.  Since PCMCIA cards don't really have IRQ's per se,
it might interfere with the way game programmers like to do sloppy
programming and/or undocumented calls.

Spoken like a true revolutionist! ;) I agree 100%.
