Umm, I have had boards with this feature, MSI, Soltek and this Epox. AFAIC they are not actually a pci at all but a work around by the manufacturers. They sold as part of a board addon and also the software is part of the manufacturers supplied CD, just like the sound AC97. I would suggest that you will have buckleys chance of getting it to work with any linux distro as there are no linux drivers out there. Not only that they also rely on parts of the main board, the supplied card is less than a 1/4 the size of a pci card; the slot being about 3cm long too. -- Keith Antoine aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
