This is a minor change to the sound blaster driver I had to make to
work with my version 2.0 card. The default speed for the dsp was too
high.  The effects of using the card at this speed were interrupt
timeouts and a nonresponsive system.  Commenting out the appropriate
line (e.g.

*** sb.c.orig	Wed Mar  3 07:13:04 1993
--- sb.c	Wed Mar  3 08:03:26 1993
***************
*** 425,431 ****
  	break;
       case 2:
   	printf(" <Sound Blaster 2.0>");
- 	dsp_max_speed = 43478;
  	break;
       case 3:
  	printf(" <Sound Blaster Pro>");
--- 425,430 ----

) fixed the problem as did remembering to lower the speed before
first using the card.
