BUYER ALERT: before buying a PCI-128 remember that the ES1370 is also used on a number of no-name audio PCI cards (e.g. Shuttle HOT-255) for exactly half the price. This is also a good time to remember how supportive Creative Labs has been with FreeBSD -- the programming specs probably wouldn't be there if the ES1370 was an original CreativeLabs product! cheers luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
