Hi, Have you tried out ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/guspnp18.tar.gz with a SB16? I have not heard too many complaints lately with the SB16 support. The problems that I have are related to motherboards not being able to find the SB16 PnP and the isa.c mods which right now is all smooth out. Not much to say about fxtv other that I use it every day and when I can't run fxtv for x or y reason on my system I get mad as hell 8) Cheers, Amancio >From The Desk Of Randall Hopper : > Luigi Rizzo: > |> Subject: any plans for soundriver or bktr? > | > ... > | Also we should make a port of fxtv, and update vic drivers. > | (also, fxtv is probably a small program; does people agree that for > | each driver there ought to be, in the standard distribution, at least > | one small program to test the driver ?
