This seems correct as far as it goes.  In OS/2 Warp, the card also uses irq 9 and
several additional ioports.

Yes, I am using devfs.

When I issue the same ls command, I get "No such file or directory."

When I issue "ls -l /dev/mixer0" I see:

crw------- 1 root audio 14, 0 Nov 19 21:14 /dev/mixer0

I also have a /dev/mixer1, a /dev/mixer2, and a /dev/mixer3 .  The ls -l command gives
similar output for them, except mixer1 is "0 Nov 19," mixer2 is "32 Nov 19," and
mixer3 is "48 Nov 19."

I try to avoid Win anything at all costs.
