Re: Window 9x WDM Drivers for the ESS Maestro-2, do they exist?

I have the CD for my Videologic SonicStorm (ESS Maestro 1) and also for my Guillemot Maxi Studio ISIS (ESS Maestro 2E). Maybe it has the driver you need. I'll check it later.

I have a 82C924 Opti soundcard with the LS-212 (OPL-3 clone) chip and Wavetable built in (rebranded AdMOS), but I can't find any info about the maker. Any guess? The back of the card doesn't have any info.

I have one thay says "Powered by Rage 128 Ultra" and the drivers from ATI/AMD don't recognize it. I know that the Ultra is for OEM, so I'll give these beta drivers a go. Thanks.
