Must have been a topic on which most people didn't know much about. Cheers
to those that helped. I managed to knock 'em down to 50 quid anyways which
is good enough to rate as a bargain in my books :)

You can actually run the APS drivers on the live (not sure about 5.1)...
I think the site is something like come.to/sblive


I tried them for a while and they are pretty good.. You can get multiple
inputs in Cubase and lower latency.

>From memory, the APS has multiple IO and higher sample rates etc... than the
SBlive so it may be worth switching.
(That could be complete crap though, as my memory only really extends to
yesterday evening!)

Personally, I'd check the specs on the EMU card on their site and see if
it's got anything extra that you want...
If it does then go for it, if it doesn't then don't bother..


Sorry to not be much help, but both cards use the same chip so they are
inherantly similar....

Forgive me if this sounds like a bit of a silly question but....

A mate of mine's workplace is offloading an EMU APS (model 8730? That's
what's on the install manual) for about �70. I have a SB Live 5.1 with the
Live Drive. 

What are the main differences between the two? 
Is this a good deal? 
Also.. are Win2000 drivers available for the EMU? (The site at creative only
offers 95/98 drivers).

Sorry again if this is a bit clueless.

Cheers,
Chris
