- The problem is that that the Speed.Res.Card is merely a hack than a
- real controlled accelerator card like the FX.
-
- The FX card controls the communication between CPU and DSP, so that this
- works correctly even in accelerated mode, the SRC does not.
-
- SRC also has problems with the Magnum FastRAM-card.
-
- Even though it's a bit cheaper - I can't recommend it.

- The problem is that it's kind of "impossible" to support it, since
- there's no guarantee that something will work on a SRC.
