    I'm not positive (can't access my machine from here right now). 
I'll take a look when I get home.  I believe it's what I typed, but I
could have transposed the two numbers.

    Ah.  Yeah, I tried wss instead of sb, and it compalined that the
ad1848_probe failed.  Probably the same thing.

    FWIW, this board has a jumper to "Disable PnP".  Of course there are
no jumpers to set the configs manually.  This will probably be a problem
on my system since it basically has the option of IRQ 10 or it will
clash with something else.  That was one odd thing I noticed in the
probe NetBSD reported the sound card and the MPU at IRQ 5.  Win95 shows
the sound card at 10 and the MPU at 5...

> Also, I never got the MAD i/o code to work right with this card. :-(

    Hrm.  Not sure what that is...  =)  So would I be better off to
return this card and try a different one?  I'll try with PnP disabled
first of course.

> If you get -current, you should get the IDE support.

    Well, I have -current (of about 3 weeks ago, before the libc flux). 
But this card doesn't have IDE.  The IDE header and a few chips on the
board are not present.  What you get for $9 I guess...  =)  Plus this is
an all-SCSI system, so it wouldn't help much anyhow...  =)  But thanks.
