I've used the IBM Special Edition for a while now and I can give it that typical OS2 accalade - it simply works and I have forgotten all about it. This is definately a VERY GOOD product ! The approach of having one driver that covers so many chipsets is a graet idea. I have heard that someone is working on the equivalent solution for sound cards - that'll be great if that comes along as well ! Cheers/2 Ed.
