- This is not true... I have (and 3 other co-workers have) PAS16's and wer are
- connected to Novell Network without any problems. I have the CD-ROM as well.

- I have version 1.42 of their Windows driver which was downloaded from
- Compuserve.

- False again. That's what we have been using without any known problems.

-
- This is true, but that port was designed for a CD-ROM not a tape drive or hard
- disk... although you can connect a hard drive to it with proper drivers from
- Trantor. I don't know of any other sound card that does have this capability.
- Do you?
-
- >what a dog!!!!!!
-
- PAS16 is the best sound card for the price. I have both PAS16 and Sound
- Blaster Pro, and PAS16 out performs the SB Pro in all aspects.
