[PLUG] Getting around junk sound card...
I have a motherboard from an old Monorail system with a built in Monorail 3D Audio sound card. It is an ISA card supposedly. I can't use it under Linux, I turn the card on in the bios and the next thing I know I'm getting an OOPS message when I try to load Slackware. I don't have a dos driver for this sound card where Monorail may not have made one. I've looked closely at the mobo thinking I can slip in a compatible sound card to get around this issue. No dice. The board only has 2 PCI slots, 1 AGP slot, and 1 ISA slot. Short of converting this SCSI based system to an IDE based one or pulling the ISA pcmcia card, I can't add a compatible sound card. There are no Linux compatible pcmcia sound cards supposedly. I am not sure what will work over the USB ports. Is there any chance of a patch to get the onboard sound working? ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

Hrmm. Well, if you're considering using a PCMCIA sound card anyway, why not pull the PCMCIA adapter card and put a sound card there? -wes ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
