They'll say your model uses some sound chipset on that site. If the manufacturer wound up his business, then too bad.=20 I have a difficult situation here with a laptop a friend brought to me to assist her install FBSD. The thing has a label on top "@Book" but I can't figure out who-in-hell is the manufacturer. The BIOS cannot boot off a CD-ROM and I though maybe the sob who made it has a BIOS update somewhere. The thing came minus a floppy drive, else I wouldn't be looking that far if I had a floppy drive. Just a clue on how difficult things can get at times. -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Inter-Connect Ltd., wash@iconnect.co.ke 5th Flr Furaha Plaza Tel: 254 11 222604 Nkrumah Rd., Fax: 254 11 222636 PO Box 83613 MOMBASA, KE.
