Help!

(Perhaps a separate 'help' alias would be good?)
I've been working on making my Sound Galaxy Washington working.
I've gotten the SBPro part working, but not the MSS/WSS part.
Here's the relevant part of /var/log/kernel after enabling DEB and DDB:
--begin /var/log/kernel--
Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: Entered probe_ms_sound(530, 0)
Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: MSS signature = 4
Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: ad1848_detect(534)
Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: ad1848_detect() - step A
Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: ad1848 detect error - step A (ff)
Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: sb_dsp_detect(220) entered
Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: SB 3.1 detected OK (220)
Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: sb_dsp_init(220) entered
Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: This is a genuine SB Pro
Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: IRQ test OK (IRQ5)
Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: Will use SB Pro driver
--end /var/log/kernel--
The section of code that has the error is here, in the function
ad1848_detect:
--begin ad1848.c--
/*
* Check that the I/O address is in use.
*
* The bit 0x80 of the base I/O port is known to be 0 after the
* chip has performed its power on initialization. Just assume
* this has happened before the OS is starting.
*
* If the I/O address is unused, it typically returns 0xff.
*/
DDB (printk ("ad1848_detect() - step A\n"));
if ((inb (devc->base) & 0x80) != 0x00) /* Not a AD1848 */
{
DDB (printk ("ad1848 detect error - step A (%02x)\n",
inb (devc->base)));
return 0;
}
--end ad1848.c--
I boot into DOS before using loadlin to get to Linux -- this is my
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
--begin AUTOEXEC.BAT--
@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $P$G
SET SOUND=A:\
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4
SET GALAXY=A220 I5 D1 P530 K11 T6
VOLSET /V:14 /X:14 /F:14 /C:14 /L:14 /M:14 /R:L
HWSET /SBA:220 /SBDMA:1 /MSSA:530 /SBIRQ:5 /GPA:E /MSS:E
AZCAL
ECHO Type L to boot Linux
--end AUTOEXEC.BAT--
The programs I got off Aztech's web site, and there seems to be no way
to set the MSS IRQ on the DOS end. I've tried setting 7,9,10,11 on
the Linux side -- all the choices -- no dice.
Help?
Jack.
