you're right.i forgot about those things.
It's an isa card,right? so first you have to check it out,sort of
speak,hehe.like "pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf"
then you have to edit that file and set the irq and port and
activate it.then run "isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf" and it should say
that soundblaster something enabled..
then there is a command in modutils that i can't remember right
now,that sets that not to go away after reboot.i might be wrong..
once the card is set up,then just issue "modprobe sb"
or "insmod sb".mine it loads sb,mpu-401,soundcore,soundSOMETHING..
so like 4 modules..
i can't remember if you either edit /etc/modules.conf now or work
with modutils to keep enable the sb modules autoloading after
reboot..hmm...gotta get some lecithine :p
c yah,and gluck.
Dani,
Winmodems unsupport.
