Wow, i cant udnerstand that either! i mean i can udnerstand it wont work with all soundcards but I bet most blind people would not mind at all having to buy an usb headset and i bet many already have one. I was able to install windows xp myself with a dos braille display to format and partition my drive and then a diskette with an answer file but it was not fun, after that i used narrator to install the driver but I have heard sam often enough now to last me a lifetime.
