Windows 2000 is a Business Operating System not designed for consumer use.
Moreover unlike Win NT, Win 2000 is based on a new Driver Modeling 
architecture.

While most of our 'older' Software and Hardware will work in this Operating 
System, support for these products is limited to the known workarounds posted 
on our website.

NOTE: If your motherboard has a "Front Side Bus" of 133MHz or higher
      then this card is not compatible in Windows 2000.

The Montego II Home Studio appears to work fine in Windows 2000, using the 
Windows NT 4.0 drivers from the Montego II Home Studio Applications CD-ROM.  

The installation instructions provided below are not supported and no 
warranties or guarantees of any kind are implied or stated in this document.

Although you have functionality of the soundcard, the Device Manager will 
report: "No drivers are installed for this device".

- Rear speakers played fine. As with Win NT 4.0, there is no A3D support 
    in Win 2000.

- These drivers are also available for download from our Web site:  
       http://www.tbeach.com (go to Support > FTP Files Download Area > 
       Montego II Home Studio > mhsvunt.zip). 
       
- Tested with DOPro v. 3.02.05 (that comes bundled with the Montego 
  Home Studio package).  Both MIDI and audio playback and recording work.
