Well, nobody with any SENSE is 8-} I doubt anybody in the last 5 years has built a system and put an ISA soundcard in it. And most newer systems don't even have ISA at all, anyway. I'd figure it's mostly people like me with older onboard stuff, or people who pulled an old card out of a box just to have some sound capability on a box that didn't warrant spending money on. I didn't even know (well, I _knew_, but I wasn't really conscious of) mind was on ISA until you reminded me. It always seemed nutty to me how many onboard peripherals were stuffed on ISA. Even on boards (like this one) with PCI slots, and even with boards (like this one) that only have a single shared ISA slot available anyway. It'd probably be a pretty bad thing to not SUPPORT the ISA cards, but I wouldn't trip over myself offering amenities to people using 'em. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
