As said. If you execute this as root it should enable the card. You can pick
the base address (the one JMPB0 is set to) with "-p 0x220|0x240". Default is
0x200 if you don't specify one.
You can supply a configuration value yourself; you'd want the same value as
the parameter to EEPROM.SYS in CONFIG.SYS under your DOS install. However,
if you do not supply a a value the card will just be enabled using a default
value (same default value DOS uses) and this should work fine assuming you
have those default resources free/reserved.
so:
sudo ./eeprom
sudo modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1
or
sudo ./eeprom
sudo modprobe snd-sgalaxy sbport=0x220 wssport=0x530
Once you have the card set to wss mode (ie, have loaded snd-sgalaxy) you
can't unload snd-sgalaxy again and start using snd-sb8; the card would have
to be reset to SB mode first again.
After that sudo ./eeprom, the drivers should not only load but in fact work.
Remember to increase/unmute the volumes in a mixer...
The program needs to talk to I/O ports and therefore needs root priviliges.
It's generally a fairly bad idea to run root programs you haven't compiled
yourself, but if compiling this userspace program is also a problem for you
currently, there's a binary at:
http://members.home.nl/rene.herman/eeprom
was compiled on slackware 11.0, staticly linked.
If this still doesn't work you... I'm going to be sad.
Rene.
