The unknown0 is the joystick port that shares the plug with MIDI
(<sarc>clever, these Koreans...</sarc>).  Why are you including sbc--The
OPL3-SAx is a WSS compat or a SB-pro compatible, neither of which FWIK 
fits into the sbc driver?  FYI my sound for the OPL3 is just the pcm line
(the 4.X version: device	pcm,  not the 3.X version: device
pcm0 at isa?...), and I'm running 4.0--in fact, I didn't even include the
PNPBIOS (despite the fact I should've: the PNP BIOS is a new thing for
me...).

You have paid nothing for the preceding, therefore it's worth every penny
you've paid for it: if you did pay for it, might I remind you of the
immortal words of Phineas Taylor Barnum regarding fools and money?
