I have been trying, unsucsessfully to get the routines for the Ensoniq
SoundScape card (included in the sound driver) to run on FreeBSD-2.1.5-RELEASE.

I have gotten to the point where it seems to detect it at boot time:
     sscape0 at 0x534 irq 9 drq 1 on isa  (via /sbin/dmesg)

but if i "cat /dev/sndstat", or any of the soundcard related devices I get the
following error: 
     cat: sndstat: Operation not supported by device

I have a good suspicion that what I want to do is at least possible... I did
an Altavista search for "SoundScape" +"FreeBSD", and came up with a hit in 
a Japenese mailing list, that looked like it gave instructions for getting it
to work, but I don't read Japenese.

Thanks
