Creative cards have one advantage: creative made the old soundblaster defacto standard and there cards where not "100% compatible", them are "the original". Their PCI cards have very accurate emulation. For me also working very well for any EMM386 compatible one. Why a creative PCI card should not work in some fully functional motherboard with PCI? Esstech cards don't need drivers and work with motherboards without BIOS emulation support? Sounds interesting. How can this work? -mr ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
