I have checked with sb16's setupcd.exe under msdos, and confirmed that the I/O address is set at 220, ie =0x230 under FreeBSD I believe). Please advise/help. (My PC config : 486DX, 20M Ram, IDE harddisk, 1.2M a: floppy and 1.44M b: floppy, Creative SB16 sound card + Panasonic CR-562-B CDRom.) Many thanks.
