I'm thinking about getting a Gravis Ultrasound Pro. I know that the Ultrasound is supported, but is the Ultrasound Pro supported too? Would I be able to hook a cd-rom up to its IDE controller? I know one guy that has one and he's very happy with it. He runs Windows 95 so I don't know how well it will work with FreeBSD. Which cards should I stay away from? I've heard the SoundBlaster 64 sounds amazing. Which sound card is considered the best? thanks for any help, Bill bill@mcs.com
