Hello,

long time since my last posting, but, now back again.

I did a little testing in the mean time:

The box runs perfect with:
-freeBSD SMP Kernel without Sound
-freeBSD Uni Kernel with Sound and DevPolling
-freeBSD Uni Kernel with Sound and no DevPolling
freeBSD means here: cvs build freeBSD 4.8-Stable (RELENG_4)

I also tested some other OS (namely Win2k Pro SP2 and BeOS 5 Max. Ed),
both do work with smp and sound as far as I can tell (had none of them
booted for more than one day).

Maybe that helps somebody.
