RE: MD: digital sound cards
Though I don't really know what is a good and cheap digital card, I can tell you that the volume control in win98 would not work directly with the digital input, but perhaps with the overall input volume if there is such a slider available through the sound card's drivers. Personally, since you are also dealing with analogue inputs, you'd like to think you'll be getting something reasonably faithful on that side, and so if you don't want to spend big bucks, the SB Live isn't too bad, but I'm sure there's better out there if you look for it.

The Guillimot Maxi Sound Fortissimo sound card has a digital optical output. Forget Hoontechs daughter board for your SBLive. This baby comes complete and retails around the same price as the SBLive OEM version. I don't think it has quite as many connectors as the SB with adapter but if all you want to do is dump a stream of 1s and 0s to your MD recorder then this fits the bill. I bought one a few days again and it installed a treat under 95 while digital recording on a MZR55 worked first time no problems. There's no digital i/p on the cards interface strip but there is a 2 pin SPDIF connector on the card itself which I connect straight to the SPDIF o/p of my DVD drive. Worth checking out if you want to do digital recordings.
