Hi Don, PMJI, and at the risk of JxJ confusion, I can comment on the Turtle Beach Monterey card: I bought one not long ago and could not get it to work in my [overloaded] P5-66 machine. Regardless of the resource options I choose, the Windows driver will not recognize the board. I could not get Turtle Beach to call me back with any help. I don't know if I have an incompatible system or a defective board. However, even if I could get it to work, I am returning it. Contrary to what a Turtle Beach person told me prior to purchase, the card requrires a 32K chunk (!) in the precious memory address space below 1 meg. Even with QEMM optimization, when I load drivers for network, vesa, PAR, SCSI, mouse, CD-ROM, etc., the free memory in my lower 640K is critically low. JKJ
