Hello Roy. 23 Jan 03 20:01, you wrote to me: RT>> Is it possible/feasable to run two sound cards in a single system RT>> running WIN98SE, or Linux?

I know it is possible in Linux, and expect that it should be the same in WIN98SE, but am not sure, 1 PCI and 1 ISA sound card, should work, tho I'd be happier if both where PCI. IRQ's are not a problem, as I have enough spare/open, DMA might be a problem. But then I cannot get an ISA soundcard and a ISA NE2000 compatible NIC to work to-gether in my step-daughters system. Had to "donate" my brand new SoundBlaster PCI 128 Compact, to the cause, of getting her sound working.
