Come to think of it, you're right.  I'd forgotten all about
filing a PR.  I knew I'd tried NetBSD on the machine before
without success, but I've whipped a couple of ISA cards out
of the machine and thought I'd give it another try (do I get
marks for tenacity?)

Ah, I'd left the sound card in there - that'll be why the
problem remained.

  JPD> Please build a kernel with the appended patch.

I don't think I can do that without at least one working
NetBSD machine.  Hopefully I'll have one working by the end
of January.

That would be great!  I'll have to re-install NetBSD on that
machine, but I'm more than happy to spend a few hours on
this if it will help other NetBSD users out.

I'm not really fussed about sound support under NetBSD. This
is a machine that's primarily used for something else.  I
think this is an example of problems caused by my not having
a machine dedicated to NetBSD. If it were, I would just whip
out the sound card.

Thanks,
