I am having trouble getting the system to reckonize the Midi Chips etc of
the AWE 64 card.

THis is what I get at Startup

Sound initialization started
<Sound Blaster 16 (4.16)> at 0x220 irq 5 dma 1,5
<Sound Blaster 16> at 0x330 irq 5 dma 0
<Yamaha OPL3 FM> at 0x388
AWE32: not detected

and the output from the /dev/sndstat
OSS/Free:3.8s2++-971130
Load type: Driver compiled into kernel
Kernel: Linux darknight 2.1.100 #3 Wed May 27 10:36:36 NZST 1998 i586

Type 2: Sound Blaster
Type 29: Sound Blaster PnP
Type 7: SB MPU-401
Type 36: SoftOSS Virtual Wave Table
Type 37: Loopback MIDI Device

Card config:

SB MPU-401 at 0x330 irq 5 drq 0
OPL-2/OPL-3 FM at 0x388 drq 0
Loopback MIDI Device drq 0

Audio devices:
0: Sound Blaster 16 (4.16)

0: Sound Blaster 16
1: Loopback MIDI Port 1
2: Loopback MIDI Port 2

Timers:

Mixers:
0: Sound Blaster

But when playing anything to the midi devices I get no sound output.
However the card works fine with full capabilities if I download the demo
version of the full OSS-Linux and run that instead.

When using the pnpplay config tools, isapnp and pnpdump, the configuration
file works fine, but when running the config I get the error message

LD setting verify failed, this may not be a problem
Try adding (VERIFYLD N) to the top of your script
Error occurred executing request 'LD 2' on or around line 25 --- further action aborted

Config file avalible at http://www.darknight.gen.nz/config.sb.txt
