Not yet. I'm hoping someone on the mailing list will come to my
rescue!
I suspect its a software configuration issue rather than a hardware
problem....maybe its because I'm running W95 OSR2 on one machine and W98 SE
on the other. I've got a mate with a laptop who I'll be seeing at the
weekend, so I'll get him to give my combo card a try. At least then I'll
know the hardware is working ok.
I got my card from The Computer Exchange, £85...not too bad for a
combo I thought.
Chris.
