Hello Mark,

wow, that was quick!

For your information: There's a company named "SoftSystem" (resides in the
UK, www.softsystem.co.uk)  which sells a work-around software. It emulates a
wide range of soundblaster cards in a WinNT or W2k environment.

Unfortunately this software costs about 40 US-$ so I posted my problem here
:-)

Have a nice day.

Martin
