Hello; Had anyone tried the 4 channel Gadget Labs Card? They said on thier web it should not conflict with an existing (ISA) ex. SB AWE32 card in the system. Seems as though this may be the least expensive way to start with Quad playback. A friend at work had a PCI SB clone who said the audio sometimes broke up as his video (PCI) card and clone were competing for resources. This quad card (w its own driver) is ISA also w its cache memory. Seems to me this would be a better approach than 2 SB cards set to diff address and int. Andy |

A badly-behaved PCI card (aggressively-driven video cards are notorious for this) will screw anything else on the PCI bus -- including the ISA bus and everything hanging off it. -- Eli Brandt | eli+@cs.cmu.edu | http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~eli/ |
