The PAS demonstration the reviewer mentions is a bit, eh... poorly done. That said, the panning race car sound-effect is nifty. Judge for yourself:

wrote:...but PAS was "just" an incompatible SB clone. Or was I mistaken?
Over its lifetime, the PAS(/16) had a decent amount of native, and in some cases, PAS-specific support. Given that the hardware SB compatibility was provided by a separate chipset, the PAS16 can perhaps be thought of as two cards in one. Furthermore, Media Vision ended up licensing the SB "technology" from Creative. Where does the incompatibility supposition come from (excluding the Creative SDK fiasco)?
