}Bill,

}	You can get the Sound Blaster version 1.5 software from
}saffron.inset.com.  They are only open after working hours. They are on
}the east coast. I recently dowloaded it. The problem I'm having is the
}driver was written on a Mt Xinu Mach BSD386 machine. The installation
}dosn't correspond to the Bill Jolitz version. Does anyone out there have
}a set of patches for this. It would save me a lot of time. 

I have the driver up and running for 386bsd on my machine to go with my
SoundBlaster Pro.  The changes I had to make to get it working were
relatively small.  There were only a few things you had to watch out for.
For example, the DMA channel is hardcoded as opposed to being taken from
your config file.

If you run into trouble just drop me a note and I'd be happy to put some
patches together.

Regards,
Steve
