Hi Sam, Neil; I'm not much into computer sound, but I got an old SoundBlaster card in a junk store and stuck it in my computer. I have installed NO drivers, and I have NOT got a SoundBlaster variable in my config.sys. Arachne plays .WAVs just fine with PLANY.exe. Maybe drivers aren't required for DOS ? All you should really need is some interface program that starts your CD I think. Re: Mp3s, again I think it is the job of the player to find the card and send it the stuff. I don't consider the player to be a "driver" in the true sense of the word, since a driver is usually installed in config.sys and stays in memory. Of course, this may all depend on whether your sound card is SB compatible - sort of like modems being Hayes compatible. <G> - Clarence Verge -- - Help stamp out FATWARE.
