     Im currently using two off these cards (the Wave/4 from Gadget Labs) 
     so I can record from eight channels simultaneously and they work fine. 
      I havent been able to get a SB AWE32 card to work along side two 
     AWE32 cards, but I had no problems using it with only one AWE32.
     (I havent tried using all of the output channels though.)
     
     Nor have I had any conflicts with any other hardware.
     
     I personally think these cards are excellent.  Only problem with them 
     as far as Im concerned is the lack of NT driversm theyve been promised 
     for quite a while.  If theres any one on this list whos also waiting 
     for the NT drivers please hassle them.

 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.
