Some clone cards achieve SB compatibility by interaction with a dos device driver. Sometimes you can boot into do, get the card into SB compatibility mode (often done for you in config.sys), then reboot (without powering down!) into FreeBSD, and the card will work then as a SB clone. No guarantees, but it's worked for some others. > -- > Gabor Kincses > (gabor@acm.org) > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
