PT LE, AMIII on Win2K or XP

Can somebody please settle this for me? I've been told by some that the Audiomedia III card has neither drivers for XP or Win2K, although they expect them out in late Novemember or early December. I also understand the PT LE will not function, or even install on Win2K Pro, either v 5.1.1 or v 5.3.1. However, I was just told that PT LE 5.3.1 and an AMIII card is working on XP. Clarification on this would be most appreciated. Digisupport?? Thanks, Gary

explanation: drivers are there for win98/winME drivers are also there for winXP, but they only work with ptle 5.3.1 installed. I think digidesign is working on the issue to create standalone drivers, and asio-drivers....so it would be a wise thing to check back here regulary...

Okay, I know that Tom S. from Digidesign Support has said that they are working on a wave driver for Win2K. In looking on the page for Digi 001, it said that Pro Tools LE is not compatible with Win2K. In conjunction with the wave drive for the AM III for Win2K, can we expect a version of LE that will support Win2K? I mean, I don't really mind using Win98SE for right now, but as both of my main computers are primarily 2K computers, and I don't feel comfortable upgrading to XP (despite all the hoopla over it, oh yeah, and at least one killer security hole!), I'd like to be able to see everything running on 2K. As far as I understand, both 2K and XP run on the same kernel, so how hard can it be to create either a patch, update, or version of LE for 2K? Maybe I'm just dreaming. I'm definately NOT spending enough time with the keyboard! Gary
