Re: Sound on Sun Blade 1000

   You're using a sound card which isn't going to work in a sparc64.  
   Basicly, the card only has 30-bits of address space, whereas pci has a 
   32-bit memory address space.  The sparc pci controller always assigns 
   addreses with the high bit set, so that's just not going to work.

Wrong, the VIA tridents fully support the 32-bit PCI addressing.
Someone just reverted my fix which made the driver not do the
30-bit check on the VIA Trident variants.

Please don't spread misinformation like this, the SunBlade-100 trident
should and does work perfectly fine.
