Motorola PowerStack PReP machines + + Enable support for "Crystal CS4232 based (PnP) cards" and for the + Microsoft Sound System. The MSS isn't used, but some of the routines + that the CS4232 driver uses are in it. + + Although the options you set are ignored and determined automatically + on boot these are included for information only: + + (830) CS4232 audio I/O base 530, 604, E80 or F40 + (10) CS4232 audio IRQ 5, 7, 9, 11, 12 or 15 + (6) CS4232 audio DMA 0, 1 or 3 + (7) CS4232 second (duplex) DMA 0, 1 or 3 + + This will allow simultaneous record and playback, as 2 different dma + channels are used. + + The sound will be all left channel and very low volume since the + auxiliary input isn't muted by default. I had the changes necessary + for this in the kernel but the sound driver maintainer didn't want + to include them since it wasn't common in other machines. To fix this + you need to mute it using a mixer utility of some sort (if you find one + please let me know) or by patching the driver yourself and recompiling. + + There is a problem on the PowerStack 2's (PowerStack Pro's) using a + different irq/drq than the kernel expects. Unfortunately, I don't know + which irq/drq it is so if anyone knows please email me. + + Midi is not supported since the cs4232 driver doesn't support midi yet. + +2. IBM PowerPersonal PReP machines + + I've only tested sound on the Power Personal Series of IBM workstations + so if you try it on others please let me know the result. I'm especially + interested in the 43p's sound system, which I know nothing about. + + Enable support for "Crystal CS4232 based (PnP) cards" and for the + Microsoft Sound System. The MSS isn't used, but some of the routines + that the CS4232 driver uses are in it. + + Although the options you set are ignored and determined automatically + on boot these are included for information only: + + (530) CS4232 audio I/O base 530, 604, E80 or F40 + (5) CS4232 audio IRQ 5, 7, 9, 11, 12 or 15 + (1) CS4232 audio DMA 0, 1 or 3 + (7) CS4232 second (duplex) DMA 0, 1 or 3 + (330) CS4232 MIDI I/O base 330, 370, 3B0 or 3F0 + (9) CS4232 MIDI IRQ 5, 7, 9, 11, 12 or 15 + + This setup does _NOT_ allow for recording yet. + + Midi is not supported since the cs4232 driver doesn't support midi yet. + +2. IBM CHRP + + I have only tested this on the 43P-150. Build the kernel with the cs4232 + set as a module and load the module with irq=9 dma=1 dma2=2 io=0x550 |
