ISA can be PnP, but I have no experience with that card (or really any of the ESS chips). ES688 is old from pre PnP times. I know OPTi 924 chip is PnP and support AT-BUS interfaces including Sony. Soun part is PnP. But is CD-ROM interface PnP too? IDE probably yes. Sony/Panasonic/Mitsumi AT-BUS no? …

MWave is only subversion of famous TI TMS320 DSP chip? That means mWave is direct successor of the IBM M-ACPA card. Most used "Classic" 2780 is second generation MWave chip? Or only relabelled? I found some older chip existing. https://books.google.cz/books?id=41XoBQAAQBAJ&lpg=PA73&ots=blWWps6-Xm&dq …

Hi Guys, I found a strange cdrom drive - sony cdu33a-81 - it looks like it has proprietary SONY interface (floppy connector instead of hdd). Question is, do I need special controller for it? Any ideas how to make it connected / workarounds if there are no special controllers around me? For original …
