Thanks very much for replies, unfortunately those are US ebay and it would cost more than I paid for the whole case just to get them shipped to UK, I'll keep looking, sure I'll come up with some bush fix or other. 🙄 Apart from the USB cover flap missing it's in very good condition. Hate it when …

I've read through a few of the Aztech posts on Vogons but I'm not really clear what drivers I should be using for this card. I note it's the 2320 chipset so 4th gen I'm assuming , seems this is one a bit more difficult to get working in win and dos ? It's out of Packard Bell Exec I recently got and …
