Unfortunately its an old Compaq Deskpro with the windows-style interface to its bios which give precious few settings to play with! I haven't found anything that would match the one you mentioned. A boot -v shows: isa_probe_children: probing PnP devices unknown: <WaveArtist> failed to probe at port 0x250-0x25f drq 5 on isa0 unknown: <WaveArtist> failed to probe at port 0x220-0x22f,0x388-0x38b irq 5 drq 1 on isa0 unknown: <WaveArtist> failed to probe at port 0x330-0x333 on isa0 Not clear to me why the probe would fail, or how to work round it! thanks aydun To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
