The Sound Blaster Pro exists only because of Microsoft's MPC standard (Multimedia PC). That said, the various versions of the SB Pro did have higher sample rates, improved mixer options, 2 OPL3 chips, and CD-ROM interface features. It could also fake as a 16-bit ISA sound card even though it was 8-bit. This was a practical matter to allow IRQ and DMA at more addresses.

There was a Tandy 1000 specific version made in cooperation with Tandy.

There was an IBM-Microchannel version for the IBM PS/2 series and Tandy machines that supported the Microchannel.
