For what it's worth... My Thunderboard ( also MediaVision ) has serious
trouble with the speech in Ultima Underworld ( also Origin ), have not
tried U7 yet. And this is on a simple 386/25 that Joe hasn't been near if 
he doesn't has Compaq as middlename. My vote is that the MediaVision cards
isn't 100% SB compatible the way Origin supports it.
