Further evidence can be found in the owners manual which mentions the LAPC-I and also MCB-1, clearly showing specific use of I instead of 1. [2] The "I" presumably stands for "IBM PC", and the "N" for ...
Most games in the mid-1990s had genuine support for the PAS cards, [1] thus the lack of Sound Blaster Pro and Sound Blaster 16 compatibility was not much of a problem.

AdLib's slow response, the AdLib Gold, did not sell well enough to sustain the company. In 1992, Ad Lib filed for bankruptcy, while the Sound Blaster family continued to dominate the PC game industry.
Sound Blaster Live! is a PCI add-on sound card from Creative Technology Limited for PCs.

Control channels Controlled source Wave / PCM stereo: Audio signal generated by the CPU via the sound card's digital-to-analog converter.
