You need a soundcard, mike, speakers and a min. 486DX/33MHz. The GUS Max, Ultrasound (since it has dual DMAs) can do FULL-DUPLEX REAL-TIME talking with the latest version of IPhone (ver. 3.0 Build 13) That's why SoundBlaster owners are hitting themselves on the head :) - Daniel Kao P.S. You ask "REALTIME?!" .... well... there is about 1-2 sec delay. About twice the delay in a International telephone call. Sound quality is great for speech, sucks for anything else (e.g. music) On 10 Jul 1995, Amancio Hasty, Jr. wrote: > Hmmm.... > I know that the, GUS, Gravis Ultrasound does support dual DMA operations.
