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

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?

Once you get used to
not having the "jitters" it is hard to go back.

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