Okay, if I'm reading what you say correctly (and interpreting the patch
itself), this patch should end the problem where playing sound and writing
to a floppy at the same time causes a hard freeze. Unfortunately, I just
downloaded, patched, recompiled, rebooted and was still able to freeze the
machine writing to the floppy and playing sound. So, either, this patch
shouldn't fix that and I'm completely off base, or it didn't solve the
problem.
I'm running a P200 MMX with an on motherboard Vibra16. More information
can be furnished if needed.
