I have drivers for Windows and DOS for a Sound Blaster Pro if ypou
would like to try them. I never neded to use the DOS drivers. I don't
know why they bother to make them. I also have programs for testing
your card and diagnosing the settings. Plus a lot of extra programs
and sound files. Let me know if you want them and I'll ZIP them to you.
