>Environment:
Using TB Tropez in MPU401 mode.  This is a hardware emulation of the MPU401 -
requires an OS be downloaded onto the card at bootup.

>Description:
Basically, using the Tropez in MPU401 mode pagefaults the kernel.
One tries to play a midi note, and *boom*, down goes the system.

>How-To-Repeat:
Boot DOS.  Run setupsnd.exe and load oswf.mot into the soundcard.
Either c-a-del or run fbsdboot.exe.
playmidi -e <somefile.mid>
*bang* there it goes.

This method (boot dos, configure the card, then boot to OS of choice)
has worked with OS/2 and Linux in the past.

>Fix:
Workaround:  use the really crappy OPL3 on the card.

State-Changed-Why:  
2.2 was a long time ago. Can you please try this in a newer release 
of FreeBSD (preferably 4.1-RELEASE) and report back if this works, 
by sending mail to 'freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org' with the 
subject of this mail. 

Thanks
