Yes, I've tried the pcm and the old snd drivers using PNP and non-PNP mode. I used IO = 0x220 (LINT default), 0x530, 0x388, 0x280 (as allocated on w2k), all isa? port? irq drq combinations but still doesn't work. The IBM documentation on the said BIOS release only states "Support for w2k prof.", no detailed IRQ or port re-mapping. Maybe I'll just downgrade the bios, if I find it safe to. > regards, Thanks. -rpb > > -- > Jimmy Lim > Operation & Support Team Leader > Tricom _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
