I'm running Linux Mandrake 8.2 on my 600e with both sound and the
winmodem working fine. I used the same settings to get the sound card
working, and I spent a fair bit of time playing with the PS2.exe utility
to get the interrupts set properly, but it all works now and has done
since Mandrake 8.1

Best regards,
Arnold
