From: dkelly@HiWAAY.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Sat, 08 Feb 1997 17:50:45 -0600 Sender: owner-multimedia@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Watching comments by others on this list suggests the Gravis UltraSound is the Prefered FreeBSD Sound Card. Or at least the one that is best supported. Unlike Seagate and others, the Gravis web site does a poor job describing non-current models. Used GUS's appear occasionally. What do I need to know to pick a good one? Are there any *bad* models/revisions? Notice PnP is still Plug-aNd-Pray. So I can assume its best to stay away from PnP if I can handle jumpers? Or do the PnP cards offer features that make the PnP hassle worth the effort? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
