Very Computer

I've hacked together a Linux system from the Slackware 1.1.2 release, to
which I added the most recent base system (don't ask, it was the lousy CD
distribution I have that forced the issue).  I am anxiously awaiting the
new InfowMagic release, which MAY solve my problems.

Anyhow, I have compiled and installed the Linux kernel 1.1.0, and STILL
have problems with getting any sound out of Mosaic.

I've read a FAQ that said that the PAS16 and the Adaptec 1542B will not
coexist. Is this for SCSI ( I don't use the PAS SCSI), or for sound + SCSI?

Anyhow, all I know is that I've collected som *.au files and showaudio
does NOT play them. Is there another audio player that works better with
Linux + Mosaic?

Thanks...

        Try running splay if you have it.  You'll need a .voc or a .wav file
to test it.  The reason I recommend this is to see if Linux is even talking
to the PAS properly.  (Obv. not to play your .au files)

        I've seen errors kinda like this (Not using the adaptec tho, that MIGHT
be the problem.)  The PAS16's int. defaults to 10, which has been known to
cause a problem or three.  I _think_ (hardware people correct me) that int.10
is used by the system.  Not sure.

        What I did to rectify the problem  (splay kept coming back and saying
that it couldn't use Int. 10, it was busy) was to recompile the kernel, and
when it came time to config. the PAS, I set it to int. 5, and then disabled
the SBPro emulation.

        Give it a try, and g'luck.
