Hey people,

Ive managed to install Slack on this desktop pro which was an experience =
..

Im Wondering if anyone out there has any info on the following..

Sound Card -  The sound device is an Ad1847 ive compiled up the Ad1848 =
Alsa driver which
                     apparently supports this chip .. I need to know =
what ranges i need for the=20
                     snd_port=3D argument ive tried 0x530 and 0xcf6 as =
given on a page i read.


Eisa Bridge    This is showing as a PCI device the manufacturer is =
showing as Compaq
                     The device is showing as Unknown but it does show =
rev3 ..


I think the key to getting the Eisa host bridge up. this i think will =
make the task of getting the 2 Eisa scsi cards i have in it ( Mylex Raid =
& Compaq Ultra / Wide ) up and running easier.

any idea's info would be great

Nige

ps - im about to throw Win98 at it.. I have a 500meg spare hdd in hope =
that windows can shed some light on io irq stuff as this has proven =
useful in past experiences..=20
