I think I found some potentiometers which can be used, of you only bend the pins 90 degrees:

Not hard to find side pots:
Take your pick, literally.
They even have slide ones if you want something different and more accurate, as in you know where the level is by where the slide is.
Granted they're not the cheapest though. I'd probably get one from here: http://www.futurlec.com.au/PotRot.jsp
Should do the trick alright. That ones similar to the A10K trim pot on my Amstrad Adlib compatable card but without the threaded portion.Hi! Those are just more of the same items I've seen so far. We need a small (fits on an ISA board height clearance) mechanically sound PCB mount potentiometer. Preferably something like a trim pot but right angle and with a small adjustment knob. I'll do another search at Digikey and hopefully something will turn up.
Thanks and have a nice day!

PS, I think this part will work at least well enough to evaluate the prototype board

I think that the idea is cool, however I've no real use for an Adlib clone. A full-on SB clone that includes intelligent-mode mini, adlib compatibility, and maybe even a header to use a wave board would be ideal for me... i.e. the "ultimate sound card" idea that was presented in another thread. Please note that this isn't a complaint - I certainly don't have the talent to design hardware or program the firmware! Just a statement on what I, personally, would find most useful.
With that said, if this project does come to fruitition, I'll probably purchase and build one just to have it. I think that these community projects are too cool, and you guys just have me in awe with your ability to create them, and in the sense of this project, to do so in such short amounts of time!
