Newer systems like the LX, SS10, etc. feature a ISDN DBRI chipset which
gives these machine 2-channel 16-bit audio capabilities - a vast improvement
over the 1-channel 8-bit audio provided in other Sparc models with the
AMD-79C30. Single channel 8-bit audio is very out of step with today's
integrated audio and visual enviroments, so I'd like to update a couple of
my older Sparc machines to DBRI-audio if it's at all possible.

Which leads to my question.... Is there an Sbus card available (from Sun or
a third party) which, can be used to give older Sparcstations the same
2-channel 16-bit audio that the newer machines have? If so, has anyone used
such a card in an older Sparc machine to do what I'm seeking to do?

I'm not counting on such a card being available, but unless I ask I won't
know. 8-)

Regards,

Craig.
