Nope, but it's next on my list :-)

What drivers?

I've been trying to build sound support as a module, so I don't see
any messages (even when I try to load the modules), but on my 8100,
Win98 says there are two sound devices:

  Yamaha DS-XG Legacy Sound System
    (IRQ 5, DMA 01, I/O 220-22F, ...)

and

  Yamaha DS-XG PCI Audio CODEC
    (IRQ 11, I/O FF00-FF3F, ...)

Any thoughts?

                                        Be seeing you,
