I've got a Gateway 2000 Pentium II 350MHz which has a Soundblaster Audio
64D.
It appears in my /proc/pci as:
Bus 0, device 12, function 0:
Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq Unknown device (rev 4).
Vendor id=1274. Device id=1371.
Slow devsel. IRQ 9. Master Capable. Latency=64. Min Gnt=12.Max
Lat=128.
I/O at 0xef00 [0xef01].
I'm running Redhat 6.0 and it works fine. The sound configuration
utility detects the card as an ES1371.
I remember having a problem with the sound card all right. I don't think
the driver liked sharing the IRQ with the network card, a quick change
to the bios settings fixed it.
As for the modem, I'd say you're out of luck there.
