Now what?
I think many users of the EWS64XL have
the same dilemma: upgrading to an up-to-date computersystem (without
ISA-slots) and leaving the EWS out or keep a special system under Windows
98 for use with the EWS. Especially the absence of ISA slots on modern
mainboards is the main bottleneck.
Of course there are alternative solutions, but they all have advantages
as well as disadvantages:
- If
you upgrade to Win2k of WinXP it's not completely sure that you will
get the EWS64XP to work again. Read our discussion forum, because
there are users that were quite successful. Once you got it working,
you have to opportunity to use the nice EWSProMix
interface that was written by Uwe Kindler and Rogier Hofboer. This
nice piece of work makes it even more difficult to say good-bye to
your EWS ;-) EWSProMix will be available in XP version soon!
- You
can decide to forget about the XL and buy a DMX6fire. We couldn't
try it yet, but we heard it's a very good card. Also the Lite version
is available now for owners of the MicroWavePC.
- You may decide to go for a completely
different torture like the Soundblaster Platinum or Audigi. Believe
me: less advanced and also a complete mess qua user interface.
Apart from that I have another
problem: what destiny shall I choose for this site for the future to
come? Feel free to give your opinion.
