Kathleen:
This is a repeat of the telephone message I left you.
I've just reviewed the saws_config.html web page, and the NECX catalog
entry for the Athena configuration and there is an error:
Sound: Sound Blaster AudioPCI sound card
This is **NOT** correct.
The Dell quote 59006501 that I received from you on 26 April 2001 is the
ancestor to all valid Athena GX150 quotes and it CLEARLY states:
Sound Card: Integrated Sound Blaster Compatible
AC'97 Sound (313-8170)
It is IMPORTANT that we find the source of this error.
Did Dell introduce an unauthorized change?
Did NECX ignore content of the quote sent them?
Or was there a cut/paste error in putting together the web page?
I am HOPING that the 64 systems we bought did not get some random sound
card added to them by some spasm at Dell.
