The PAS16 is a 16-bit ISA soundcard that, in its "studio" incarnation, has a slow- speed (intended for the CD-ROM drives of the time) SCSI interface based on the NCR 5380. As I recall, the Linux driver operated in polled mode only: no interrupt handling capability. That deficiency was never corrected while I was a user of that card, and I quit using the card somewhere in the 2.2 kernel version timeframe. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Tracy WTO + WIPO = DMCA? http://www.anti-dmca.org rct@frus.com -----------------------------------------------------------------------
