Don't be so timid, be more steadfast with your taunts. I quite liked it. Agreed - but you have to be a bit more careful nowadays. There are some types that are ... very sensitive ;) I found it in the file wdm3516b_Cadenza.exe, which a preliminary search indicated as such. The trick was to use a …

I have the CT4760 and this works perfectly OOTB with the Liveware 3.0 CD installation in Windows 98SE. I don't have to specify whether to use WDM or VxD drivers. I use the same card in the same rig for Windows 2000 SP4, and I use the official Live! drivers from June 2001.

That homemade test bench is adorable. How did you decide to raise the board up from the base? Did you add rubber bumpers or standoffs? The base is made from 4 plynths (similar to the legs) that form a hollow square base. A thin layer of OSB board was then added as the base. The legs are made long …
