[WriteLog] 2 identical soundcards - and the verdict is!

[Alfred J. Frugoli (KE1FO)]

At least under Windows 98 2 identical sound cards don't seem to work (or at least I can't make it so).  I now have a Sound Blaster AudioPCI and a Creative Sound Blaster 16 Plug and Play in the system, and both working wtih MMTTY.

Device ID -1 and 0 are still the main soundcard (Sound Blaster AudioPCI) but Device ID 1 is the Sound Blaster 16 Plug and Play.

That was an interesting ride!
