I'm hoping someone has it working on a similar moedel. IBM's website says "soundblaster pro compatible" at some points, and "crystal audio" in a couple, but I haven't been able to find anything else on their websites r the documentation that came with it (which was a ultra-newbie manual mostly with the trival diagnostics [problem: screen dark. solution: turn on unit]). I tried poking through windows, but it doesn't tell me any more about the device than that it's crystal. > > It indicates that games can treat it as a soundblaster for > > compatibility. > Again, without knowing which chip it is, that's difficult to say.
