I’ve added the Aureal Sonic Vortex 2 sound card and it appears to be running fast and smooth under Win2k with Omega drivers. My plan is to use an SSD drive ( …

Hi GCA. Sorry I haven’t been back to Vogons since the beginning of lock-down and have only just read your response. I’m busy again of course but I’ll find time to dig out these details for you and send on what I have. B/w Dave
