(I guess > 5.2 was less taxing on 32 M RAM.) We beat IRIX, that sound great to me ;-) I'm interested in how this CD playback works. Does it read raw data from the CD drive and just play it on the HAL2 or are there some other and smarter ways of doing it? I have a half-broken SCSI CD player here (which I'm currently only using to raise my monitor some inches from the desk). Is it possible to read raw data from an audio CD? - Ulf
