- The audio driver Keith posted is identical to the one on the 2.1 tape,
- except for the format of some of the comments. On my A2500 running
- 2.1p2a, using that audio device causes panics about 80% of the time.
-
- But if it works reliably on your machine, I am not too surprised,
- since it evidently does also for Keith and some others. As I
- remember, it did not panic A3000's very often, but it did sometimes.

- Here is a severe test:
-
- while :
- do
- cat hal>/dev/audio
- done
