I picked up a Gateway 486 box to use as an IPNAT system, and having done
some reading (and being a PC novice), now have a couple of questions...
(Heh, I did a bit more reading, and suddenly have an entirely different
question than what I was going to ask. ;-) Anyways. It appears that the
sound card I was blessed with in this machine is a Pro Audio Studio, which
can emulate Sound Blaster, Pro Audio Spectrum and Windows, among others.
Which is the better driver to use?
Second. This box seems to have IRQ 9 redirected to IRQ 2 by the BIOS,
and I haven't found the way to break in and see if I can relieve it
of that duty... My ethernet cards are Accton EN1650's, a NE-2000 type,
and both look to be working OK under DOS. Because of the redirect,
though, I cannot set the IRQ to 9 where the kernels want it. If I set
one to port 300/irq 10 (for ne1), would that be usable for a network
install?
Thanks,
~Steve

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
