Subject: [Q] Sound Blaster Card Question
Date: Wed, 11 Aug 1993 01:13:48 GMT


I want to write a driver for Sound Blaster card. Can somebody please help
me by answering these questions?

1. What is the difference between different types of cards they make, 8-bit,
ASP, Pro, Deluxe. Are these differences minor or major? Can I write one driver
which will work for all (or most) of these cards?

2. What comes with the Developer Documents that I can buy from Creative
Labs? Do these have hardware programming details? Are these sufficient for
driver writing?

I would appreciate any other information that you may provide (btw, I have
the FAQ).

Please reply by mail and I will post a summary. Thank you.
