Hey fellas, I wonder, since I am having trouble with my zip250 scsi drive, (slow to mount and umount) is this related?? Can I get a newer (or older) version of the aic7xxx module? Thanks On Tuesday 12 June 2001 08:10 am, so spoke [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I did, sort of. It turns out that the

Hello. I am considering upgrading my sound card from AWE64 ISA to the SBLive Platinum. Does the wavetable midi still sound as good (or better) than the old awe64 or does it even use the same kind of synth? I should have asked if it works with linux to begin with in the first place sorry. If
