Jack, > AH, so. Somehow I just find it easier to go out the back and back in > again. Haven't had a performance penalty yet. Are you looping the cables? I've found the problem with doing that is Creative doesn't seem to know anything about designing hardware for a noisy environment; the Soundblaster is a magnet for picking up RF from inside the box. As far as the 8-bit vs. 16-bit debate, I couldn't tell the difference; most apps don't support 16-bit anyway. Hell, most games don't even really support the SB Pro! (not that I *play games* mind you.. 😉 I was really hoping Strike Commander would have the audio pan from left to right as a jet cruised in front of you.. {BTW: I'm really looking forward to _Echoes_! Why's it trade paperback, though?} -dg-

I've just installed the cable that I bought for $12 + $3 handling from TTS Information Systems ((408) 982-0695). It connects the 3-prong audio out from the rear of the Toshiba drive to the 4-prong CD audio in on the SBPro card. Works great! Came very quickly. It's not worth trying to shave a few pennies off of that price. DON'T ACCEPT THE WORD OF NAYSAYERS! It can be done. (No offense, Jack . . . <g>)
