Maybe he just clicked somewhere, like I press "r".

I got a Pentium yesterday, I didnt slept a night. So it were maybe 3. Its
not so much faster, than I expected. The overall performance. 16 MB.
Compared to a 486. Miro videogarabbercard test showed lower transferspeed
via adaptec 1542 SCSI card. The drive is a of an today incredible size,
dmesg shows 3.300 transfer speed of the card. The mainboard came with some
kind of a manual with horses. "P/I-P55TP4XE". Never had such a beast
before.

Maybe somebody knows what to do: The SCSI card has a floppy controller.
The mainboard has a build in floppy controller, there is everything for
IDE. What do I have to do to have a floppy. Currently I have "floppy"
disabled in the bios, it boots ok. All data inside....

(PS.: Are there "floppiesdrives with FIFO" ?)

One good side of the new board: No pnpcard problems at all, it didnt work
on the 486. 

Sound, multimedia: what do I do to enable the "pca0" Audiodriver ? I think
I have it in the kernel, dmesg | grep pca: 

pca0 on motherboard
pca0: PC audio speaker driver

But I cant make it run, found no man page covering the question: sh
MAKEDEV ???????? . Etc pp.......

I think I should be able to do some echo bla >/dev/audio.

In Csoundland, it should be something like csound -odev/audio, hope it is
a little bit faster than windoze multimedia.
