In this sense, I just got an Indy, well, no more soundcard driver troubles anymore. Such an once luxurious "unix workstation" is slow today too. It is still luxurious, if you want to learn.. I have a 486 that I like very much. 1542, in such a system, this is still a great card. Etcpp. Maybe 200 MB is to small for email, but it worked great. H.
