Sb: WHAT SOUND CARD TO BUY??

I was considering upgrading my good old Sound Blaster to a newer card and narrowed my choices down to the PAS 16 or the new Sound Blaster 16. Besides the sound capabilities I'm interested in the built in SCSI interface that both of there cards offer, but reading what I can find on the subject I find two short comings in both. First I believe that Mediavision doesn't provide SCSI drivers for OS/2 2.0 (or the upcoming 2.1) for the PAS16. But on the other hand, the SoundBlaster 16 will support OS/2 but according to the latest Infoworld review it still has the non standard SCSI interface that the SB pro has. Are both of these stataments true? Basically I'd like to make sure that when I can afford a CDRom drive that whatever card I purchase will work with DOS, WIN or OS/2. Comments/sugguestions please. Thanks – Rick
