Re: Yamaha opl3

[DFalt <jiann@vcu.edu>]

i have the yamaha opl3sax on a gw2k 9100 xl laptop and my card works whenever i
warm boot from win/dos into linux...this can be accomplished via lilo or loadlin
but with this procedure the i/o 'defaults' are kept the same...and oss or any of
that other shit to let u do what u should be able to do is not necessary   cause
linux wants to send the irq number to a different number(my os's r gaywin95/gaynt
4/ and linux)
