This is about talking to my ISA Ensoniq sound card yes? Anyway, is this info sufficient to prove I have VIA bus in any case?

Now I'm abit worried :-D When installing the new floppy drive just now (which appears to have resolved the problem), I noticed the Abit logo on my fan. So that's what I've got. So maybe I'm in for a rough ride? Is this "bug" unique to MDK8? How easy is it going to be to restore the system to pre-dual-boot if I find MDK is incompatible? Kirby
