I have a GUS MAX in my olde 5x86 (Amd 100MHz) - still being my workhorse machine (ISDN gateway, attached to a 100Mbit LAN). What happens is that the oss kld module (FreeBSD 3.2 now, 3.3 later) hangs after being loaded. trying to bail out with ^C casuse the xterm to become unresponsive. Trying ps -ax in another window makes this window to hang as well. Trying to shutdown finally results in a panic after hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL when X11 has been brought down. All in all I'm unhappy with the situation as it is now. Midi files come out totally fragmented and rendered to unrecognizability. It may be a problem with the ISA hardware but I'm not sure. I will take out that le0 Dec lance ethernet card now since I don;t need two network cards any longer. Maybe this will detent the ISA bus situation in my machine a bit. Though I believe to remember that this very system once ran midi files like a charm. I also don't want to change he sound card with every new attempt of getting vat/vic tools working again. So what's your advice, folks? -- Chris Christoph P. U.
