For the sound card, make sure that ALL kernel sound modules have been removed from memory then try running sndconfig from the console (make sure X-windows or a display manager is not running!!)
 
If it configures proceed...
 
I believe the SB16 used the Adaptec chipset.
 
You could try "modprobe xxxx" using the Adaptec entries in

/lib/modules/2.x.x-xmdk/kernel/drivers/scsi

I.E.

"modprobe aic7xxx"

Once you get a "hit"... I.E. the modprobe does not return an error...

Type

"lsdev" and make sure the module you loaded has BOTH an IRQ and I/O Port range associated with it..

Then modify your /etc/modules.conf file

alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
alias block-major-11 scsi_hostadapter

Finally you should "mkinitrd" for the kernel you have to preload the driver...

BTW: Your sound card might not be working because 8.0 now deals with PNP & PCI in a very different manner...

Try disabling/enabling PNP/OS in the BIOS and RESETTING the BIOS's PNP/PCI configuration...

Hello.
 
Well, thank you for your reply. But I've used that one
for aoubt 10 years. (Can you believe it? )
Its connector is one for "internal SCSI".

Are you sure those are not IDE connectors for a CD-ROM.  Most of the old
16's had this
