Re: Yamaha OPL3-SA2
You need to run 'pnpdump >isapnp.conf' and edit the file to set up this card
(it's a Plug-and-Play card IIRC). Then run modconf and select 'OPL3-SA2'
and 'OPL3'. You will have to enter some parameters for OPL3-SA2: io=nxnnn,
mss_io=nxnnn, mpu_io=nxnnn, irq=nn, dma=nn, dma2=nn. For the OPL3 module,
enter: io=nxnnn.
