if you want cheap, then any soundblaster 8 clone should work.
from the GENERIC config file, it looks like any of these should work:
pss0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 drq 6 # Personal Sound System
sp0 at pss0 port 0x530 irq 10 drq 0 # sound port driver
sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 drq 1 # SoundBlaster
wss0 at isa? port 0x530 irq 10 drq 0 # Windows Sound System
pas0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 drq 1 # ProAudio Spectrum
gus0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 drq 1 flags 6 # Gravis Ultra Sound (flags is
record drq for full-duplex)
I've got an AWE32, and all I can say is I'm not impressed with the sound
driver,
but then, I rarely actually use sound on unix, so I don't care.
as for a printer, I believe any laser printer with a parallel port
interface should work fine, as should any other kind of printer that uses
an interface NetBSD is familiar with.
and yes, any modem can be used, as long as it uses an interface
NetBSD is familiar with (for example, the com ports)
