- And you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Not surprising
- coming from you Aimga guys in UK, (must be a result of eating that mad-cow
- tainted beef over the years) I just put a $69.00 Revel SC400 16bit sound card
- into a friend's system and didn't have to do anything but run the config
- software, which modified the autoexec.bat and saved the only hardware setting
- we changed (the default volume level, it was too loud) to the sound card's
- EEPROM. That's right dork, EEPROM. This card didn't require us to set any
- jumpers or anything like that at all like you are trying to imply, and it
- stores the card's hardware settings in a EEPROM similar to the way a modem
- does.
-
- AND IT'S NOT A PLUG & PLAY CARD EITHER!
-
- It's fools like you that drove me away from the Amiga, and I haven't
- regreted my decision to leave it ever since.
-
- GET A LIFE LOSER!!
-
- (or at least stop eating that mad-cow tainted beef. It's not good for you.)
