Slack n Sound, the sequel

This is mostly for Jami. I checked the sound card in Windoze. Works fine. What I have in Linux is no errors, no noise and no joy. Here is a recap: Slackware 7.0 Kernel 2.2.17 (thanks to Neil) Soundblaster PCI (es1371, Ensoniq rev 7) Sound driver is in the kernel. Was a module. I'll bring it

P-200 Anyone?

Hi all, I've got an old P133 that I'm building for my daughter-- she's 12 and wants FreeBSD, so I'm quite the proud papa. Anyone got a P200 CPU that I could put in the box. The board will use Intel (the manufacturer says MMX will work with the newest BIOS, but that might be questionable),
