If you guys wanted to go nuts, you could search the forums for each card and add the forum IDs for each person found who said they had one at the time. ... I for one am not *that* crazy 😉

Okay, I think I mined everything of use from lolo799's PCMCIA soundcard thread. - If I missed anything, please go ahead and add it. - easy_john's list is only of RARE soundcards, so please remove the ones that are NOT rare.
