370 Another way to initialize PnP cards without DOS/Win95 is a Linux based
375 support for PnP cards. There are bugs in setting DMA channels in earlier
376 versions of isapnptools so at least version 1.6 is required with sound cards.
378 Yet another way to use PnP cards is to use (commercial) OSS/Linux drivers. See
