Hey look, folks. I didn't point a finger and try to blame anybody or anything. I'm as much a Linux advocate as the next guy. Granted, I have not tried every trick under the sun to get it to work. I don't really care that much. I can live with my memory accesses taking a few microseconds longer. My point, and my only point, to all this was just to add data. If there's something relatively easy I can try, I will. Otherwise, life goes on. -- David Hollister Driversoft Engineering: http://devicedrivers.com Digital Audio Resources: http://digitalaudioresources.org
