Can anyone recommend OS/2 drivers for this PCI sound card ? The SB16PNP drivers claim to support Vibra chipseted boards, but they don't work with this one ! This is NOT the same chipset as the SBLive, so those drivers don't help either. Help !

Ed, I did a quick Google search of Usenet (groups.google dot com) and it appears that unless your Vibra 128 has the ES1371 then you're out of luck. If you do have the ES1371 chip, then try http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/system/drivers/sound/es1371.zip Regards, Paul.

Hi All, Anyone know a way to send https requests from Rexx?? I'm wanting to code a usage meter for Internode Personal ADSL and need to send https requests to the Internode server. I've seen some references to using curl (I think there's an OS/2 port) and a Curl Rexx library - anyone done this successfully?

CT5880 plus CT1297 chip on a CT4810 board. es1371 is a non-Creative labs chip isn't it ? Are they now simply re-badging other manufacturers boards ?? I went looking for a SBLive board but the only ones in the shops now are the 5.1 equipped boards and I was quoted differing prices between AU$ 90 and AU$290 !! for these. The SBLive "value" board should be around AU$ 65 - 70 but it seems that's long gone ! Thanks anyway Ed.

Perhaps NETREXX gives some of this support ?? I'm not sure if NetRexx was a free or a purchasable product though. There's a few addons and small apps written with it on Hobbes. Ed.

Aha, yes I've just checked the CD and the PDF manual states that some of the cards are marketted as Ensonic Audigy or something. Off to check Software choice, didn't find anything in DDPAK online.

The SBLive "value" board should be around AU$ > 65 - 70 but it seems that's long gone ! SB Live value OEM boards are still on the market. Bought one from my distributor last month. Check with other suppliers. I can recommend a cmedia 8738 chipset sound. I have used several onboard sound motherboards and seperate sound cards based on this chip. There are several brands on the market. VPC/OS2 sound also seemed to work good with this card and the open source driver. One that I have used is Pine PCI Stereo (model: PS-M01A-20, Cmedia 8738, 3D sound, 6 channel) In the US they sell for $18-22 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
