However, your card is not a FlashPoint and does not require special
support. I have a BT948 and it works as well. But the BT930 and others
do not work without special support.
The BT930 and other FlashPoint cards are fantastic cards. I hope people
don't avoid them because of the Debian support issue. I also hope that
Debian 2.0.32 disks are made that correct this oversight.
Thanks,

On the side of the software box, in the "System Requirements" section,
it said "Requires Windows 95 or better." So I installed Linux.
