Think SoundBlaster Pro isn't PCI or PnP ISA, but legacy ISA (I now 
affectionately call BaH ISA - Bugger all Happens) - you'll need to tell 
the OS its there. Try to use 'sndconfig' to set it up, but you'll need 
to know the card's settings (IRQ DMA etc.) when you run it and you 
should make sure the card is jumpered so these settings don't conflict 
with other hardware settings on the machine.
