Trident Sound Cards & Media Devices Driver

I have spent a lot of time with this console and Have A/B'd the sound with my Neve 1073s, API 512cs, and UA 610. Sometimes more preferred than API on vocals and drums. Doesn't sound much like a Neve in the low end but that's not a bad thing. This Trident doesn't have to take a backseat to any console period. Welcome to the MSI Global official site.

Hi!

Right now using the joystick with a trident sound card
on 2.4.x is not possible.

The joystick/pcigame give me tons of problems, like pci resource
conflicts and oops, anyway I'll came back soon with more detailed
data about that..

Drivers 3com 3crshpw_96 wireless lan pc card. Forgetting the enhanced game port we can use the old legacy ISA ns558
driver but is a no go because the trident sound driver doesn't enable
that port :(

This patch allow to enable the legacy joystick port on
Trident 4DWave DX/NX.
The patch adds a new trident module param (joystick)
and a new config option.
I didn't try with a monolithic kernel, I hope that joy driver
driver will came after the sound driver.

Before xmas I need to turn my linux server on a X11box ;)

happy gaming,
luca
