I have tried NetBSD 1.4 on one of these, but I never got the PCMCIA
network card to work. If you've got any hints on that I would be
happy. (Yes, it's a "supported" card, and I tried playing around
with PCIC_ISA_foo options which helped somewhat...) The machine
is currently running linux.
I was able to play audio files, at least .au files with
"cat file > /dev/audio0", when I configured the sound like this:
wss0 at isa? port 0x530 irq 5 drq 1 drq2 0
audio* at wss?
No soundblaster, and the IRQ and DRQ settings was found by peeking
in the bios settings. I was able to get into the bios only by
hammering on the ESC key when turning power on, but once there
I found all the sound chip settings on "system setup page 2".
