Hello

First thing. Thanks for the assistance on sorting my original Compaq
problem. I resolved it by shorting out the CMOS. I'm not sure how it worked
but it did :-) I could then proceed with the W98 installation with the mouse
and KB working!

Now I'm trying to fit an ISA souncard to the Compaq, the soundcard is a 'ESS
1868'. I've kinda sussed that I need configure the Compaq setup menu with
IRQ, DMA, I/O and memory, but I don't know what to put in there ... or maybe
I'm doing something wrong?

Please note that the Compaq is second hand and has no manuals with it. I am
unfamiliar with Compaqs but I learning fast.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

TIA ... Mick
