The ESS Audiodrive es1869 is an easy to find and affordable sound card, that is Sound Blaster Pro compatible. It also has a unique software wavetable mode that works with general MIDI or waveblaster. It works perfectly with pretty much any title of the era and is a great addition to a retro rig in my opinion.
