Nope, sorry, you can't... Well, do you know what a Winmodem is? Or the
Windows Printing System? The vendors put the intelligence in the software,
not in the hardware. But windoze drivers don't work under any platform
beside Windows itself (sometimes, there isn't even a Windows NT driver!)
So, to get the most out of your sound card, check my HOWTO at sunsite
(mini-HOWTO/Soundblaster-AWE.HOWTO or so) or here:
http://homepage.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/Marcus.Brinkmann/soundblaster.html
You can browse it online, or download a nice printable or plain ascii text
version...
If you have questions regarding the soundblaster, just ask me.
