[WriteLog] 2 sound cards with writelog ??

[Jon Harder]

Having now been through the wringer getting _two_ PCs set up with dual sound
hardware, I'd heartily agree that different cards / systems are desirable.
Both of these run just fine under Win98SE and XP (dual boot.)

One is a  400mHz AMD K6, 256 Mb SDRAM, with an SB AWE 64 ISA and an SB 16
PCI, dual MMTTY decoders for WL.  Reliable but touchy.

The other is a new Athlon 1700+, 128 Mb DDR RAM, with SB 16 PCI and on-board
C-Media chip, also dual MMTTY for WL.  Wow!  This one really zings.

I have to say that CPU speed is really a factor both for RTTY and CW.

Very 73,

Jon         K1US
