I have heard that they have very good drivers for Win95, no idea for NT. Yamaha OPL-SA3 should also be good ones. The OPTI931 (I see many of these boards here in italy) also works and it's dirt cheap, but it's S/N ratio is very bad compared to the above cards. Still, for their price, you probably don't care... [this is in addition to Amancio's suggestion for a PCI card, which at the moment is unsupported though, and I am not sure how easy are they to find in europe] Cheers Luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________
