Hi Bruce:

My ISA Sound Blaster sound card was recognized automatically. I did not have
to install a driver manually. Just curious as to this apparent acceptance of
the card as PNP. Or was it just the default driver that was installed? I
don't have access to that computer now. So I can't check, but the sound
works fine.
