Thank you for the advice. But if I may ask????

Why do I think that I used the option of:-

device	pcm
device	scb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 11 drq 1


I will only be taking care of the 'unknown0' ?

What about the 'unknown 1 through 3'  ??

I am trying the one below...which I think means I am using soundblaster
compatibility.... I would have liked to use css0 but the irq factor in it
discourages me taking cognizance of the dmesg one ;-)

I do not seem to have this file 'UPDATING' in my system....wow...
And I am yet to learn the tricks with cvsup (I've been trying to read
about it....) maybe you have steps 1, 2, 3 of HOWTO that you used and
went well....

Thank you so much Oscar. I was beginning to think that noone saw my SOS..
Once I am able to sort out this and the printing issue I will go the next
step....CVSUP....etc...

Hope to hear again from you...
