Yes, but this is still a very small portion of a very large market. True,
the majority of Amiga users will be happy with a Voodoo 3/SoundBlaster
combination, but the important thing regarding these is how they are
implemented, really.

Voodoo 3 drivers have already been proven to be workable in an Amiga
environment, offering much the same (better?) benefits as a BlizzardVision.

But SoundBlaster cards? Surely in order for these to be of any use AHI
drivers will also have to be written for them? Or do I misunderstand, and
the drivers that Elbox are producing are for AHI?

Cheers,
GazChap.
