The LINT file warns about this -- the port address, IRQ, and DMA are all hard-coded in this header file. It looks like you kept port 220, but the IRQ is assumed to be 7 unless you reconfigured. The same header file also defines SB16MIDI_BASE as 0x300. Look carefully for any other definitions in this file that may affect your system. Ken
