hmmm i will have to try getting my current sony cd & pas16 working with 
linux. i was installing from kernel 1.0.9 or possibly 1.1.19, which would 
be older than 1.1.59. i am currently running 1.1.73.

anyone out there with advice on getting the sony cd / pas16 combination 
working [not for install; just WORKING] please send it to the group. 
thanx in advance!
