Thanks. Yes I know it will do that but I have my computer that I use for
Linrad/Winrad/
Spectran/FFTDSP and that computer has 2 sound cards. I believe
DSPBlaster nor
FFTDSP are able to handle that situation at least not in my case as far
as I know.
That's why I have another machine with just a genuine sandblaster in it.
Also I might not have the latest version, as a matter of fact, I do not
have the latest.
Perhaps that's the reason Yes indeed I can use DOS under windows to
run dspblaster
but I don't think one does have that option in WIN2000/NT /XP?
BTW I had a typo in the W3SZ URL it is:
