- addition to the previously supported cards (AdLib, SoundBlaster and SB
- Pro). Other ProAudioSpectrum models are not supported yet. File

- Standard settings are IRQ7 for SoundBlaster (SBC_IRQ) and
- IRQ5 for ProAudioSpectrum (PAS_IRQ).
- - Continue installation as for standard Linux 0.99.
-
- It is also possible to use the version 0.3 of the sound -driver with
- Linux 0.99. Just follow the instructions above and don't try to apply
- any patches provided with the driver. You have to make manually the
- following change to the linux/kernel/chr_drv/sound/Makefile before
- compiling the kernel. NOTE! The following is not necessary for the
- version 0.4.
