- HU? The SoundBlaster Pro uses a proprietry controler-to-CD interface, but
- form the software(CPU)-to-controler it adhears to the MSCDEX requirements(?)
- and comes with a version of MSCDEX that lets it work with dos/Windows 3.x.
-
- The real question is when will Microsoft make NT suport for MSCDEX
- drives/provide those "not needed at this time, maybe later" NT driver SDKs
- so Creative Labs can write an NT/MSCDEX driver?
-

-
- I also have SoundBlaster Pros w/CD drives (2, one at home, and one at work).
