I have been using PAS16 on 3 different FreeBSD configurations for over a year with no problems except that warm reboots leaves the card in a sluggish state. I have not had to resort to initializing the card via MSDOS!!!! Tonight I attempted to configure a 2.0R kernel using the same options that worked fine under 1.1.5.1 (excluding all BUT pas) and discovered that I can find no combination of config incantations that produce a /sys/compile/XXX/pas.h file showing NPAS>0. Did something break in the config program? Where is the referenced 'sound.doc'? Is anyone on this list actually running a soundcard under 2.0R? Paul
