Hi Alan,
I don't have raid or ISDN, so I don't know why all those entries about that
are there. I'm not sure about the scsi emulation. This is a new ,
out-of-the-box compaq pc, and I had installed the "recommended" option of
7.02. So, its mainly on "automatic" with all that.
I had run sndconfig and lothar over and over, but no change - the fix for
the sound card was an updated driver - works like a charm now.
phil
