In another thread I read of this card.  Does anyone know if it works in
Windows 2000?

  I hate to put a crimp in a business....but with the improvement in
soundcard ports,
is the PDPI even really necessary anymore???

"Imho" USB has basically taken over. Plus isn't the PDPI card only available
for ISA slots? All new mo'bos just have PCI.. Atleast mine does.. <g>
Cheers Thom_j.

Back in the dark ages when I had an SB16, the PDPI was a good deal,
but with my SB Live, I'm *much* better off just using the soundcard
and none of those ungodly setup hassles where you have to practically
take your computer apart just to install the card.

Another vote here for just using the soundcard.

I thought the Live card's gameport was OK too, but in looking around I can't
figure out if its a analogue or digital port (does it make a difference?),
or the cpu usage in polling the controller with a Live card verses the PDPI.
I want to ask my original question again, does the PDPI have any win2000
drivers?

I've got a SB Live and a L4 and I still prefer the L4.  Once you get used to
not having the "jitters" it is hard to go back.

But do you run win2000? (or know if drivers exist?)

Modern day soundcards may not degrade the performance of your steering
wheel, they don't IMPROVE it either. And that's just where the PDPI L4 comes
looking around the corner: it improves the signal that is received from the
wheel.

So yes, the PDPI is still a great deal, no matter what sound card you're
using.
