Ok,
Perhaps the problem with the isa PnP flavor of the old 16-bit AWE32 is not
a problem with the card, but with PnP in general.
I have an Adaptec 1520B ISA PnP Scsi card. I did the pnpdump >
isapnp.conf, then ran isapnp isapnp.conf and I got an error saying error in
io memory range. Not sure how to fix that one. Perhaps it's a more general
problem with PnP, and not just my card. This is happening in Beta 3 and I'd
really like to get it fixed.

Subject: Re: [Cooker] discussion of next distro
Did you get your tv card to work?? I'm almost ready to try. I had to
change to a different sound card since the new distros don't work
anymore with the Soundblaster AWE32 16bit isa PNP card. Been REAL busy,
but am very anxious to try to make it work. That is one thing that I
MUST make work before I will start using Linux full time. Any tips you
care to share?
