Greetings...

After spending an entire night working on trying to
get this card working on my system.. it's working!!

I know a lot of people have been trying to get such a
card to work and had very little luck. Here is what I
did to get it working:

1. Get a Microsoft Sound Board. I got mine off of
Ebay.

2. Install the MME subset and the C++ RTL.

3. Rebuild the kernel, and setup.

4. Shutdown the system, then power off.

5. Set the jumpers on the card to this:

   --* <-Pin 1
   --*
   Make sure that pins are jumpered in the direction
   shown.

6. Install the card, I placed it into the bottom ISA
   slot.

7. Turn on the system, halt it at the SRM console.

8. Type this:
   isacfg -mk -slot 1 -dev 0 -etyp 1 -handle PCXBJ
   -iobase0 530 -iobase1 388 -enadev 1 -irq0 9
   -dmachan0 0 -dmachan1 3

9. Then type this:
   init

10. The system will reboot and you now have sound!

Here is the configuration of my machine:

PC-164LX
21164a (533-Mhz)
128MB Ram
DE500 (Tulip) NIC
Intraserver SCSI Controller
2-4.3 Gig SCSI HDD
Elsa Gloria Synergy 8MB Video
Microsoft Sound Board Rev. B
Toshiba CD-Rom
4mm SCSI Dat Drive
Floppy Drive.

Tru64 4.0F w/ Patch 1.

I hope some of this information will help others out
there who want sound on their clone alpha systems.
