I have an issue with a multiboot machine. I am very happy with my
old Turtle Beach Montego sound card that I use for Windows 98 and
XP.
Now I've installed SuSE Linux and can't get the sound card working.
I already know it's not supported directly by SuSE. I've gone on
the web and done a lot of searching. The closest I've come is to
download some developer sources with some precompiled object files
(.o's, that is) with no sources included for the object files.
I got it to compile, but it wouldn't link because the gcc version
used to compile the kernel is too much newer than the version used
to compile the object files in the source dist.
Anyway...
I have a cheapo sound card that I might be able to use with SuSE
but I'd like to keep my old TB card as well. I'd just like to be
able to have SOME sound when I boot SuSE. I was amazed how much
sound cards are nowadays. Yes, I have some Scottish blood in me.
So: Is there a way to install two sound cards at the same time
without unresolvable conflicts?
Thanks.

PS. Any other solutions to my problem are solicited and welcome.
