contacting cirruls logic, contacting your crads manufufacturer, e-mailing you
test exe's and dll's, waiting 1-2 days for a report on wther or not it made
any differnce to your problem. (This after your public offer of eating the
long distance calls to resolve this, and when i try to save you the cost of
the phone calls, by inviting you into irc you turn me down with "i don't have
the time") Do you *REALLY* wanna cure your problem ?? Seems to me like you
want somemeone else *anyone* else to solve the problem for you. And you
wonder why I'm miffed...
And who told you I might ask that it's "almost" all the other cards out
there? As far as I know it works with *EVERY* card out there but yours. I
certainly have had no other reports of it not working.
Have a good day!!

assistant: The vac builds have been dropped for now...
Unzip the full archive to create the \adept dirs and files, then from the
\adept dir run makefolder.cmd and follow the instructions to create the adept
folder and icons..
The install program was dropped, mainly cause i could not find the self
extractor maker for lzh, unzip is easier anyway...

If u can't find it here try ftp to snoval.com in the adept\incoming dir,
updates are always loaded there first... currently the full install is at the
same rev level as the upgrade so u just need the ad109f28.zip file (f=full
