I'd appreciate any : information anyone can give me. First of all, if you can hear mods but not midis, I doubt it's a PnP issue. PRobably some other odd config issue. (I use a GUS myself, so I can't help you too much with the SB.) However, if the card follows standard PnP stuff, you can use the PnP kernel patch from the xperimnt-al stuff in most current FreeBSD dists. -- Matt Behrens Zigg Computer Services zigg@iserv.net http://www.iserv.net/~zigg/
