To all: No replies to my original message about how to configure the ensoniq. RTFM, checked the mail archives, compiled a kernel with sound support using a modified version of the soundblaster driver (port 330, irq 5). The kernel compiled just fine, but my card is still not detected. The problem? If I understand one of the messages in the mail archive aright, as well as the implications of the ensoniq manual, this sound board has to be software initialized. Someone wrote a DOS program to do just that; he runs the program and then warm reboots into FreeBSD. A similar thing happens when you play DOS games that need a soundblaster compatible board but can't run in a window under WIN 95. In other words, you exit Windows, restart in DOS mode, and this initializes a new set of DOS drivers for the ensoniq soundscape. This is really more trouble than I care to go through. Anybody know how to initialize this card from the FreeBSD kernel? Any ideas--and then I'll drop the subject:) Michael
