- >Apparently, the game does support the Media Vision Thunderboard.
- The documentation claims that it does not support the Pro Audio
- Spectrum card nor the Adlib card. When I talked to EA, they said
- it did support the Adlib card. When questioned, they said to "go
- by what's on the box". Now, what's on the box is Sound Blaster.
- Period. No mention of compatibles, and despite Media Vision (and
- other's claims) the Tboard and Sound Blaster cards may be
- compatible but certainly are not identical, and it is possible to
- have problems with compatibility. Aplogies though to anyone I
- misled.

- I thought it was a bit odd that there was no soundcard
- support for the adlib. Sounds like they need to give the
- people who print their little compatability stickers a firm
- but friendly boot in the happy sacks :-)
