The newest on Netlabs is 0.75, but I got 0.80 from a link someone had on
the Yahoo SBLIVEOS2 list--a good list if anyone needs it,
www.groups.yahoo.com
I gather from this list that 0.80 had a minor problem. I'll get the
newer driver from Hobbes.

Thanks to Peter, Steve and Steven for the advice. The card came in a
new system without any documentation--my excuse for not knowing where to
plug the speakers in. My son clued me into something called surround
sound. I had the speakers plugged into the place the rear speakers go.
System sounds come out there, and everywhere else I guess, but music CD
sounds don't. Anyway, with the speakers plugged into the other hole, it
works whether the interrupt is 5, 10 or 15, and whatever the interrupt
is, the SCSI controller is sharing it. Steven indicated this should be
OK, so I won't worry anymore. The sound isn't very impt to me, but HD
performance is.
