     driver. There is no need to install the Microsoft joy-
     stick driver.

   2.  The NT drivers support sample rate conversion and mixing 
       of up to 5 mono or stereo WaveOut channels. 
   3.  Full-Duplex Wave Support 
   4.  The NT drivers support mono recording via a single WaveIn 
       channel. Gain can be adjusted using the advanced button on 
       the record.  The gain is controlled by the slider on the
       main panel. The advanced button has a 20db gain check box. 
       Full-duplex operation lets the user record and play channels 
       simultaneously, an essential requirement for pro-quality 
       audio editing.
   5.  64-Voice Wavetable - The 2.00.01 drivers add a configurable 32-
       voice software wavetable engine in addition to the 32-voice 
       hardware wavetable engine already available. The TBS Montego II Control 
       Panel's MIDI tab allows selection between 32 voices in pro mode 
       (hardware only), 64 voices in gamer mode (32 hardware voices + 
       32 speed-optimized software voices), or 64 voices in pro mode 
       (32 hardware voices + 32 quality-optimized voices). Overall 
       voice quality has been improved.
   6.  TBS Montego II Control Panel - As in Windows 95, the NT control panel 
       for TBS Montego II supports 32/64-voice wavetable selection and 
       chorus/reverb adjustment.

             CD-ROM, auxiliary in, stereo mixer, and mono mixer.
  
C.  WINDOWS NT 4.0 DRIVER ISSUES:

     
   1.  Matrox Display Adapters - The Matrox drivers shipping with NT 
       4.0 are poorly behaved in the system and hog the PCI bus during 
       heavy graphics usage, which can cause noticable audio dropouts. 
       If using Matrox Millennium II driver v3.20, (4.0.55), try 
       upgrading to the latest Matrox drivers. Upgrading to the latest 
       driver will not guarantee any improvement.  In this case, you 
       may want to contact Matrox directly to address this problem.

   2.  Number Nine Display Adapters - The Number Nine Imagine128 
       drivers shipping with NT4.0 are poorly behaved in the system 
       and hog the PCI bus during heavy graphics usage, which can 
       cause noticable audio dropouts. 

   3.  Riva 128 Display Adapters - The Riva 128 drivers shipping 
       with NT4.0 are poorly behaved in the system and hog the PCI bus 
       during heavy graphics usage, which can cause noticable audio 
       dropouts. A new set of drivers for Riva128 display adapters
       fixes the problem and is available from:

       http://www.stb.com/drivers/velocity/vl128.html

   4.  3COM network card drivers - Version 1.0 of the XL 3COM network 
       card driver found on the NT distribution CD can cause blue 
       screens during installations. Be sure to use 1.1 or above.

       button. This also installs the TBS Montego II joystick drivers.

    5. If the driver has already been installed on your computer, you 
       will see a dialog box that lets you choose whether to add a new 
       driver or continue to use the current driver. If you get this
