- Comments:
- These boards have varying capabilities and prices. I've received
one report of 100% success with the Aria drivers on an IBM PS/1 with
an Aria board under OS/2 Warp 3.0, though a parameter
("/P:310") was required on the CD-ROM driver to get it
working. Another poster said that the driver worked, but produced low
volume. I've received conflicting reports on these boards under Warp
4.0; one person reports no problems (though he hasn't tried VTD),
while the other reports no success, though he had it working fine in
Warp 3.0. I gather that the drivers were developed with the
Prometheus boards in mind, so that should be the safest bet among
Aria-based boards, at least under Warp 3.0.
