This Subject line seems to have merged two threads, one of which was discussing a new card which is pretty much a clone of the Soundblaster (only it includes speakers at the $150 price), and the other which was discussing the much-hyped (thanks, Dvorak) Sound Source module. As I understand it, the Sound Source plugs into your parallel port and nothing more - there's no way you're going to get something hooked to a parallel port to interface via the I/O ports used by Adlib and Soundblaster, or to do any real non-CPU driven sound such as digitized voice. If a salesperson let you think you were buying a $30 substitute for the $100 and $150 cards, I'd go back and give 'em a piece of my mind. -- Kevin Martin sigma@rpi.edu "i feel true blue and real"
