15 Thanks!!!! I did this so far:
16
17 #REGISTER .* MKOLDCOMPAT
18 #UNREGISTER .* RMOLDCOMPAT
19
20 REGISTER hd* MKOLDCOMPAT
21 UNREGISTER hd* RMOLDCOMPAT
22
23 This makes hd* available (I think /dev/ide/host.... is way to long to type :-)
24
25 It worked nice except that in my everyday workstatition, I need to register
26 dsp, mixer, and md. The last one, md, could be "fixed" by patching
27 /etc/init.d/halt.sh; and dsp, mixer, etc., by patching emu10k1 (this is only
28 a guess.)
