I have an Aztech Sound Galaxy PRO 16 card, which I used before getting my genuine SB32, and it was a good card. Most cards which claim 16-bit sound mode usually use something like MSS/WSS, and have a SoundBlaster PRO mode. An interesting thing about some of the Aztech's (mine included) is that they ran both 16 and 8-bit modes at once...(at least the DOS-sided driver did, I could never get it to work this way under Linux, had to be one or the other). If it has an EEPROM / software jumper, set it for EEPROM and make sure the correct values are in memory, and then you won't need to use LOADLIN, just boot it straight to Linux. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * * Atari 8-bit RULES! 400/800/XL/XE 2600/5200/7800 * * * Battlestar: Galactica!
