Hi!

You are just the second person to replay to my original post.  It seems that
anybody have any clue about this soundcard. (Trident 4DWave-DX).
I sent a mail to Trident, but they didn't ever replay...

So, I begin trying to "reverse engeener" the DOS programs to initialize
the soundcard, using DOSEMU, but it seems a large proyect... and this
DOS programs don't do any sound, so I belive that I will be only able to
initialize the card.... not very promising...

So, If anybody can help, please do!!. I think that if anyone can get the specs
of
the soundcard, writing the driver will not be difficult...

Try mailing to Trident people... And keep me aware of anything!!!

        Daniel.

PD: I'm in vacations now, so I only read my email twice a week, this is why
         I delayed so much to replay you....
