* Rearrange the speed mapping table and adjust the code so that the highest
rate can actually be used. Previously we ended up rounding up slightly
lower speeds and then losing because set_params couldn't set the mode
back to the current one.
* Allow 260 as a valid I/O address, since the SB1 can be jumpered to this.
* Change the MPU-401 code so it can be attached as a separate device.
(XXX Really, the SB code ought to just attach a subdevice itself.)
* Do not attach an OPL on the SB1. Writing to the OPL registers at
SB_base+0 on this card wedges my machine.
(XXX Should we access it at 388 instead? The Creative web site claims
that this board *does* have an OPL2, but I haven't played with this
extensively.)
* Allocate the SB DMA channels at open time, rather than attach time, so
that a single DRQ can be used for multiple cards (if only one is in use
at a given time).
(XXX Let me tell you why this is a horrible hack. If the ISA DMA code
tries to allocate a bounce buffer after boot time, it will generally fail,
because there is no contiguous memory below 16MB and the code to allocate
contiguous pages doesn't know how to move things around. Now, we
shouldn't ever be using bounce buffers here, because we use
isa_dmamem_alloc(). So we just turn off BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW and we don't
actually try to. That's cool, and it even works, but isa_dmamem_alloc()
has the same problem. It just happens that we allocate the ring buffers
at boot time, and whenever we reallocate them (due to the buffer size
changing), we just deallocated the previous (contiguous) buffer, so we get
lucky. This is absolutely disgusting and needs to be fixed.)
* Improve the midisyn layer a little.
* Add a driver for the Yamaha OPL[23] FM synths.
The opl driver is not finished yet; it sounds pretty awful.
For some strange reason I cannot get any FM sound from my SB64 cards,
but a regular SB16 works fine.
the /dev/rmidiN devices, or with a sequencer interface via /dev/music.
So far the only supported MIDI device is the MPU401 port on SoundBlaster
(and only on SB on isapnp, since we do not have locators with multiple
values yet).
Before, the probe routine (mcd_find() would succeed even if the probe
code thought it had a response, but didn't recognize the ID-code byte.
Now, only do the promiscuous match if MCD_PROMISC is configured.
DEPCA is now split out into a separate driver.
Because there can be only one attachment of a device to a bus, for
each card type a separate pseudo-bus was introduced which attaches to "isa"
and where "le" attaches to.
now lives in dev/ic, wd now lives in dev/ata. there's now a 'ata'
interface attribute defined in conf/files, but wdc can't go there
yet because some ports still use private versions based on the old
ISA version.
clobbers my SMC. Now I can really use a generic kernel with my SMC @0x300.
This change has been tested on various machines with ne2000 and 3c509 baords.
XXX All these probes sould be reordered after the release, with invasive
XXX probes at the end.
supports generic SMC91cxx-based ISA cards and the built-in SMC
Ethernet found in some laptop docking stations.
