    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (CONTROLLER ATA) Intel 82801ba Ultra
       - ATA/100: H-Drives 1 and 2 (DMA enabled).
       - ATA/33: CDRW).
    (CONTROLLER SCSI) Adaptec "AHA-2930cu", Ultra-scsi2, bios v1.34
       irq5, BIOS disabled
       (host adapter scsi term disable as ext devices always term enabled).
       - External: either ESI-4000 sampler (s#6 term) OR tape(s#5 term).
       - Internal: Jazz(s#4), host-adapter(#7 term)
       - Bus path= #7(term), #4, #6 or #5 (term).
    (DISPLAY) ATI "Rage XL" AGP (2x), 8mb sdram graphics accelerator.

    (SOUND1) Yamaha "SW1000XG" + "PLG100-VL", (physical modeling daughtercard).
       - 16-bit audio: irq4 (f4800000-f483ffff)
       - Digital audio: spdif digital out @16-bit.
       Note:  Yamaha SW1000xg is direct-connect midi device, Oasys is enabled via thru.
       SW midi-out connects to ESI-4000 midi-in, making the hardware sampler midi-accessible
       as an SW out device.  SW midi-in connects to keyboard/controller midi-out.  SW is
       Windows Playback/Preferred device because of its more standard architecture.  Reality
       uses SW wave out.

    (SOUND2)  Korg "Oasys" (synth, effects processor, audio I/O)
       - 24-bit audio: irq3 (f4000000-f400ffff)

    (SAMPLER) EMU "ESI-4000 turbo" digital sampler with spdif digital i/o
       - SCSI#6 ext, term.
       - Note:  proprietary EMU O/S.  Can coexist with Win9x and traverse it,
         via scsi, to access EMU disks.
