Date: 13 Sep 1994 18:27:37 GMT Organization: DOLBYLABS Lines: 15 Distribution: global Message-ID: <DEM.94Sep13112737@filmpc.dolby.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: filmpc.dolby.com Hello BSDers, I'm happily running NetBSD-current(1 Aug.) with no problems, and I'm interested in adding a sound card to my system. This machine is a 33Mhz '486 with 16Megs of RAM, Adaptec 1542C SCSI host adapter, ATI Graphics Ultra Pro, and WD8013 (SMC) ethernet. This motherboard only has an ISA bus. I mentioned all the technical details because I've heard of people having conflicts between certain SCSI and/or ethernet cards and various sound cards. Any recommendations? A number of other people here are using SoundBlaster cards under DOS/Windows/NT, but I thought I should ask what people have found to work under *BSD. Also useful would be recommendations for sound-handling software. Thanks all. --Douglas Mandell
