Hi Stephen

I have a Soundblaster Live! Player 5.1 which I fished out of my old
Windows tower system (now working as a file server with a bunch of 160GB
HDDs in a RAID 5 array). I've still got the driver CD (though you can
download more up-to-date drivers from the web), and I printed out the
manual from the CD as well.

Contact details are below if you're interested
