"Sort of".  You can add a "/W:0" (I think?)  that will tell the board
not to reset when the PC is rebooted.  Then you can boot into
NetBSD.  Yes, a pain.  If only the PAS16 was *hardware* compatible
with the soundblaster.  I don't consider requiring a device driver
to enable hardware compatibility to be the real thing.. :)
