Good call. In the meantime, I'm passing this on to the -questions and -stable lists asking for owners of SB Live cards and running 4.0 to test this out. If it's only in 5.0, I want to reflect that in the HOWTO I wrote up last night. For those interested in seeeing what's done already, you can find an article on http://www.defcon1.org (and probably http://defcon1.erudition.net too) titled "Support for your SB Live! card in FreeBSD 4.0/5.0". Again, it looks like it took some tweaking to get it to work in 4.0, but he says below what it took to get it to work. It went well with 5.0 for me. The -current source I used to get mine to work is from last night (4/6/00). -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Martin Minkus [SMTP:diskiller@borg-cube.com] > Sent: Friday, April 07, 2000 9:29 AM > To: Holden Christopher > Subject: RE: SB Live! - Fantastic!!!! > > heh, so, what.
