I have a Yamaha SA2 sound board in my computer, which happens to work in 8
bit, 22 khz with the SBpro driver, but the card is capable of doing more.
I used their DOS pnp utiltity + loadlin to disable pnp and set it at
certain fixed io addresses, IRQs, DMAs, etc., and then I compiled a
2.1.119 kernel with Yamaha-SA1 support, plugged in the values, and when
the kernel booted up, it said it couldn't find a Yamaha SA1 chip. I would
be happy to try to provide information on the board for someone interested
in trying to write a kernel driver for this board. It's actually a pretty
good board for $14, except for the PnP which you have to disable with a
DOS command.
