Please at least tell people that these are clones, otherwise your ads
and their use of -only- the Ensoniq brand name mislead people into
thinking that this is a real Ensoniq-made card.  It is not, it just
uses the AudioPCI chipset. 

This is generic third-party manufactured, it is not actually made by
Ensoniq. (it's just a clone) So far, these A-Trend cards are the worst
performing AudioPCI based cards on the market.

In fact, here is the report straight off the clone section of Walter
Lord's AudioPCI Support page: (http://204.186.128.102/)

AudioPCI Clones Revisited (3/23/98) I continue to receive numerous
reports of distortion and poor audio quality with the A-Trend Harmony
AudioPCI (ATC-6615) clone. Distortion and hiss are not commonplace to
a good AudioPCI clone! This may be a soundcard to avoid. These clones
are readily available across the net for prices under $40 US. They may
also be sold under the name SoundCrown (At least A-Trend mentions the
SoundCrown line on their page). Perhaps sometimes you get what you pay
for. Beware!
