I'm running a dual boot system with Win 95 and FreeBSD with the Motion 771 card with 4meg vram. Works like a charm. This is with a no-name motherboard Triton chipset with an NCR 825 based SCSI controller. FYI, the Number Nine driver version I'm running is (this from the status section of their control panel): Windows Driver Version: Hawkeye for S3 v1.09p Windows Disk Version: 9FX Motion Ver 2.05 (Dom) I'm not running with the soundblaster, but rather the Gravis Ultrasound PnP Pro. I did have DMA problems with my Soundblaster 16, but no idea if that would relate to your problems or not. Scott ---------------------- Scott Burris UCLA Campus Network Services scott@cns.ucla.edu
