Sorry, it is an L7300, my bad. It's quite old and not listed
on the asus site anymore. (Celeron 400, 96mb, 10Gb, 13.3" TFT)
ISAPNP detects it as a OPL3SA2 and so does Win98.

No, the bios is very basic, doesnt let you do anything with audio.
Not even turn it off.

./configure --with-isapnp=yes && make && make install
didnt specify any particular cards
is there anything else I should have done

No, I'll try that when i get back to the machine, I did run snddevices (?)
or something, as suggested in the README, but that didnt seem to make any
headway.
