Thanks but when I run APCONFIG it says my SNDSCAPE.INI file is invalid
or incomplete!  There is a yellow shriek ! on the Legacy sound driver
in Win95.  Without a valid INI file it is totally US!

Should the WIN95 drivers be loaded before installing the card or
after?  Should I let WIN95 see the CD when it finds the PCI64V or make
it wait until after the desktop has loaded and then run setup from the
CD manually?

Here is my SNDSCAPE.INI

[sndscape.drv]
Port=0
WavePort=0
SBPort=0
IRQ=0
SBIRQ=0
DMA=0
SBEnable=true
JSEnable=true
SynthFile=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\eapci2m.ecw
PCIPort=e800
PCIIRQ=12

There's a brook just the other side of the road...
The fine for dumping/littering/poluting is....
