If the manufacturer didn't write a Win9x device driver for it himself, it seems unlikely he is interested in having one written.

This forum is supposed to be for people who have questions and those who may have answers. If you want to rant against Windows I'm sure there is a more appropriate place to do it. In the meantime I asked a reasonable question and I still hope to receive a reasonable answer. No, I don't know how to program device drivers. Does that make me less worthy somehow? I do know there are generic drivers that work very well for USB storage devices and I would assume (in my vast ignorance) and also hope there might be something comparable for audio drivers. If you actually know anything useful about this I would be interested in receiving your response.

Linux has the BEST hardware support of **any** OS. There are more *old* devices supported under Linux than are supported under XP/Vista. There are more *new* devices supported under Linux than are supported under Win9x. The **reason** is the development model of The Linux Driver Project: cache of http://lwn.net/Articles/276973 The _only_ thing that is required of the manufacturer in that process is to co-operate on Step 3 of my list and he gets a Linux device driver written for for his stuff for FREE. The result is Linux has wound up with more supported devices than any other OS.
