I've got a good offer on one of the Creative Labs' bundles that includes a 
SoundBlaster-16 SCSI asp and the NEC 3Xi cdplayer.
Hope someone can answer a few of my questions regarding SB/FreeBSD-1.5.1

I know this scsi card is not supported by FreeBSD at the moment, but
how about the future. Anybody working on this ?

Aside from SCSI, is the SoundBlaster-16 supported?

I can move the cdrom to an existing adaptec 1542b. Can the two boards
be set up to coexist ?

Any comments on the NEC 3X ? My requirements are true SCSI-2,
multisession photocd, XA, and at least double-speed.
