Use PowerISO to extract the CD image without burning it. It's the same program I used to create the ISO file. Thanks for the tip! Though, still no vortmix.exe found... so, just me beeing stupid or is that file created only when actually installing the driver(in windows) ?

Thanks for the info. You also need the VORTMIX.exe file to set the levels. I haven't burned that iso yet, and am unable to otherwise extract what it contains, but... that vortmix thingie should be there, right ? I found another file(unable to retrace location atm), Win9x2048_NoDemos.zip, in which is …

Would that au30dos.com file perchance be located inside the CD image ? I actually managed to get my hands on a genuine PCI Aureal SQ2500 card(vortex2 AU8830A2), which I suspect is the one that uses that dos driver ?? Or could I use the dos drivers for the MX300 (when I find them) instead ? If not, …

Well, so I started testing the Roland card I got - but am getting odd(?) results with the daughtercards. The melody of my test file (Star Trail songs) sounds not at all as I expected. Hard to explain, but some instruments sound louder, I hear instruments I don't think I've heard before, it's off-key …

hmm, I sense some irony here, or.... ? (sorry, sorry, sorry! but fun factor is just too high... ) But then again, you must have quite some budget for these things ? I mean, that 'Gravis Ultrasound Plug and Play Pro' for instance ? (US $130.00??!)

Well... I already GOT a PCI FX5200. But those are not that great when it comes to VESA compatibility... (60hz limited in particular games etc - check the threads on this site) So I was thinking more like Geforce2 or something. Not sure if Geforce3 is VESA 'ok' (?). Much easier finding an AGP …
