-How to enable CMI 8330 soundchip on Linux
+How to enable CMI 8330 (SOUNDPRO) soundchip on Linux
 ------------------------------------------
 Stefan Laudat <Stefan.Laudat@asit.ro>
 
-Hello folks, 
-	
-	The CMI8330 soundchip is a very small chip found on many recent 
-	motherboards. In order to use it you just have to use a proper 
-        isapnp.conf and a little bit of patience. 
+[Note: The CMI 8338 is unrelated and right now unsupported]
+
 	
-	Of course you will have to compile kernel sound support as module, 
-        as shown below:
+	In order to use CMI8330 under Linux  you just have to use a proper isapnp.conf, a good isapnp and a little bit of patience.  I use isapnp 1.17, but
+you may get a better one I guess at http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/.

 CONFIG_SOUND=m
 CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=m
 CONFIG_SOUND_SB=m
 CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB=m
 CONFIG_SOUND_MPU401=m

+# Mikro$chaft sound system (kinda useful here ;))

-	The soundchip is now fully initialized. Enjoy it.
