Hello Wayne - 

--8<--cut 

CA>> The assumption continues to be that it did/does work in
CA>> some fashion. It could be a nasty joke card someone
CA>> constructed just to sit back and watch as we struggle to
CA>> comprehend the thing. 

CA> > ;-) 

WC> I doubt this as I went to www.diamondmm.com and _found_
WC> this SupraMax modem. It's also listed at the FCC web site.
WC> Hey I've got some drivers and possibly documentation right
WC> on this machine or I could go looking at web site again. My
WC> WAG is I've not a clue. It IS a SupraMax modem made by
WC> Diamond. 

I was just kidding. 

WC>> Got a "Turtle Beach" sound card in there as well. 

CA>> With the accompanying software that is supposed to be an
CA>> execellent sound card for MIDI. 

WC> Wonder how well it sets up on standard 98 drivers or if I
WC> can snag the drivers off a web site? 

Generally the soundfonts for sound cards are not made available
for downloading. Some illegal websites might have them but I've
not found any on corp websites. 

CA>>> can't imagine any other way it could have ever worked but
CA>>> I'm open to the possibility that there are other ways
CA>>> "under the sun" to get it to work. :-) 

WC>> Only way I'm going to find out is slap a good CPU and
WC>> drive in there and load Win 98 and possibly some
WC>> diagnostic tool. 

CA>> Where are 'Scotty' and 'Dr. Spock' when you need them? 

WC> Yeah? Why can't I build a computer out of "stone knives and
WC> bear skins?" 

Well technically your computer _is_ a rock. ;-)
