Well, I want a soundcard to work with under linux. The SB Live! card
doesn't have a driver (yet). I need the SB Live! under NT 4 so that I
can connect some DAT gear to the computer. Very important for me. It
also helps while playing back some large compositions;)
Ah, and I have a large 18GB harddisk which is supposed to be my
mastering HD for a CD, thus I need the digital i/o on the SB Live card.

It worked under Win98 (except for the ISDN card, which was a RAS, CAPI
or something problem) so I assume it would be possible to make it work
under linux. The Rom is PnP and recognizes my two scsi controllers (one
on the MB), it recognizes the SB AWE 64, and the network card.
I haven't dared turning on IDE yet, because it makes it impossible to
install anything under windows, but windows works with them after
install...

I assume I'll need to find manuals for everything (I doubt my ISDN
card's manual is nearby), take a note of all that. Then physically work
on the cards to do the rest. Well I assume (as I noted above) that none
of these cards have default settings which overlap, since they worked
under Win98.

No problem there, I think, since everything boots and comes up.

Mmmm, you mean get 98 or NT 4 up? Well, I had 98 up, had to erase it for
the normal reasons one erase 98. (something fucked up my boot partition
majorly, later I learned that it was lilo which didn't like IDE turned
on when configuring.)
I've tried to install NT 4 three times, from three different sets, not
possible, the setup program will always crash during setup.
NT 5 beta 2 works without problems, until I try to install my ISDN card.
The stupid setup program on the CD Rom crashes.
I'm hoping for an NT 5 beta 3 trial, it might have the ISDN problem
fixed.
