    Hmm. Sources were sup'ed 10/16, and I don't believe this card even
has an IDE interface.  It doesn't show on Windows 95, and the only
connector on the board is for a wavetable device.  Plus I don't have any
wdc's uncommented on my system, it's entirely SCSI, even the
motherboard's onboard controller is disabled in the BIOS / not enabled
in my kernel.  And since the audio doesn't work on my ESS (SoundBlaster
Pro compatible) either, I don't think it's just a problem with the ym
device.

    Thanks for the info.
