Lincoln Lab: Fine Food and Coffee Distribution: alt Date: 7 Jan 94 12:42:53 Lines: 32 Hi folks... Here's the deal: I have a SoundBlaster Pro (8-bit) with the original Panasonic CDROM. This has basically been "ok" for most things, but I find I am using the CDROM drive more and more...so the slowness of the drive is a problem. As I have had great luck with the SoundBlaster system (even thought I already have a SCSI II card with other SCSI devices) I'd like to stick with the SoundBlaster System. So, what I would like is: the 16 bit sound afforded to me by the soundblaster 16 card, plus a CDROM that is: (a) at least a 2x drive (b) Supports the Photo CD format. Can someone tell me which SoundBlaster package is right for me? You can e-mail or post if there is enough interest. Thanks in advance... - Rob -- - Rob DeMillo | Internet: demillo@juliet.ll.mit.edu MIT Lincoln Lab | America Online: exgalileo@aol.com Weather Sensing - Group 43 | Reality: 617-981-2105 (office) "Operation Goofy now in effect!" --- Tom Servo, "Gamera vs. Gaos," Mystery Science Theater 3000
