Thanks! That was exactly it. I guess I'm still not quite converted to Intel-
based hardware... Heh.

NetBSD was reporting an sb device at IRQ 7... I assumed it was seeing where
the device was, and reporting that. Instead, it seems it was seeing an sb
device, and reporting where sb devices normally should be.

I looked over the board itself, and noted that it was set to IRQ 5... Doh!

I feel properly embarrassed at my oversight now... <sheepish grin>

Thank you kindly for the help! I hit a conceptual wall, and couldn't get
any further without the external prod. The fact that you detailed the exact
problem helped... <grin>

Now, I set up all sorts of timed alarms, and I tell Netscape to use rplay,
and... and... stuff. :)

Later...
