go for PCI cards - all the ISA ones seem to try to emulate an old SB16
or similar, and will conflict for address 220 etc.

I have a (crap) S3 sonic vibes and a (better) Yamaha XG in the one
machine. Some of the SB emulation stuff in device manager isnt working
(Conflicts) but windows is fine out both of the cards.

Cool thing is the gameports have sorted themselves out and I can plug in
2 joysticks :)
