Its important that not only is each card selectable, but all cards have to be able to be usable at the same time. There has been some discussion that Sound Blaster sometimes can barely do full duplex under the right conditions. So its not hard to believe two Sound Blasters in one machine won't perform. Only sound (voice) in/out is required, no synthesis. One might guess a new PCI sound card would work. But it appears at least some are emulating ISA on PCI, eliminating the advantages of PCI. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nebula.tbe.com ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
