They might very well be doing something of the sort,  I don't know.  And
the cdrom that came with it has *only* windoze drivers on it,  no other
info.  No dos drivers,  no nothing else.  I *can* read the mfr's code and
chipset code out of some of those registers,  I just haven't fiddled with
the program enough to be able to guess as to how to write stuff to some of
those,  or what would need to be put in there.
