I can get a 3c509 combo (int 10, addr 300) to work while a sound blaster
16 pnp is configured. The network board probe fails reporting 16 boards at
address 0x200.

In the kernel sources I found that address 0x100 is used to get the
configuration
of the 3com, but this address is used by the sound blaster for enhanced
stereo.

I tried to disable this feature in the SB but then the boot stops at the
sound blaster probe.

FreeBSD 2.1.6.1

Can anyone help?
