Do you know which version of the Pro ?
I have heard that there are two different ones.
One use two chips with 11 channels on each to do 11 channel stereo (?).
The newer one just has one chip with 20 channels on it.
If that's true, there must be, at least in stereo mode, quite a different
handling of those two boards. Which one are you using ?

You see, I am interested in buying such a board. I would like to do
some editing of songs under X11R5 and create Midi output to play on my
girl-friends digital piano.
I am running 386BSD and this driver is OK for me.
Now, I wonder, which board should I buy or is it easy to support
the new version of the board which I would rather want to buy.

Thanks for the port !
I was about to looking at the code while you are posting this article.

Norbert.
