Although I don't have the tools for doing it myself, would any Windows programmer like to tackle the task of writing an Ad-Lib/Sound Blaster-compatible sound driver? I have this $135 board in my machine, hooked up to a pair of speakers, that is so far useful only for playing Sierra adventure games. Ad-lib-compatible boards are very popular these days, and I think a lot o f people would like for Windows to sound as good as it looks. Just looking for another way to combat that ol' Mac Envy.... ________________________________________________________________________ Michael B.
