[SWLUG] Ancient sb card under Red Hat 9

[Peter Joseph]

Hey,
    can't really offer much help on the IRQ conflict, never could deal
with ISA! With regards to the CD Audio playing, this is normally done
independently of the machine itself via a analog audio wire from the
back of the CD Drive directly to a slot on the sound card....if this
wire is missing...no CD Audio. You should be able to use any linux cd
audio player to start a cd.

Hope i've been of some use!

Peter
