I wouldn't recommend using the binary drivers from ATI, either. The best approach would be to find an older ATI card, which have very good Free drivers, or a well-supported card from another vendor. > seconded, but you could also (if you have the hard drive space) rip the > audio cd's, and make ISO's and then mount them when you need to if they're > data > (that reminds me- IS THERE ANYTHING LIKE DAEMONTOOLS FOR LINUX?) To mount an ISO, you just need to use -o loop. For other formats, there's a nice tool called fuseiso which uses FUSE to mount ISO, BIN, NRG, IMG, or MDF (but not CCD or MDS) images. I don't believe it can do the same hardware emulation tricks that Windows' DaemonTools does, but you can at least get to the files. > as always, great post matt. Danke. %!PS: When I first heard of DaemonTools for Windows, I didn't understand why Windows gamers needed D. J. Bernstein's UNIX service management tools.
