Re: Sony CDU33A
Hi,
I had combination CDU33A + Promultimedia Sound Card. It was quite painful to
make it work. The only successful pass was to use loadlin from DOS, so that
DOS initializes Sound Card + CDU33A interface (SONY) and after that you boot
linux (again with loadlin). In DOS there was driver which printed out
everyting about IRQ, ports and so on. I was not able to make it work without
DOS, because of bad sound card I beleive, you may make it work with
soundbleaster, if it is really soundblaster from creative labs.
Good luck,
Sasha.
