I have a SB16 and FreeBSD 2.1R. It works fine for digital audio (though all
I've done is cat files to /dev/dsp, nothing special), as long as I disable
the printer. I could probably use a printer as well if I changed the IRQ. I
can't get the MIDI to be recognised though, although I haven't tried that
hard.
