Neo's Recommended Audio Books
Just finished this Audible audio book. It's simply great.
Highly recommended:
This book was so well done that I did not want to miss a single word; so ended up listening to half of the book twice when I got distracted. This is a great audio book.
Publisher's Summary
Quote:
For more than half a century, physicists and astronomers engaged in heated dispute over the possibility of black holes in the universe. The weirdly alien notion of a space-time abyss from which nothing escapes - not even light - seemed to confound all logic. This engrossing audiobook tells the story of the fierce black-hole debates and the contributions of Einstein, Hawking, and other leading thinkers who completely altered our view of the universe. Renowned science writer Marcia Bartusiak shows how the black hole helped revive Einstein's greatest achievement, the general theory of relativity, after decades during which it had been pushed into the shadows. Not until astronomers discovered such surprising new phenomena as neutron stars and black holes did the once-sedate universe transform into an Einsteinian cosmos, filled with sources of titanic energy that can be understood only in the light of relativity.
Celebrating the 100th anniversary of general relativity, Black Hole uncovers how the black hole really got its name and recounts the scientists' frustrating, exhilarating, and at times humorous battles over the acceptance of one of history's most dazzling ideas

NEO(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual NEO(4)
NAME
neo -- NeoMagic MagicMedia 256 audio device driver
SYNOPSIS
neo* at pci? dev ? function ?
audio* at audiobus?
DESCRIPTION
The neo driver provides support for the NeoMagic MagicMedia 256AV and 256ZX AC'97 audio devices, found on many laptops.
The MagicMedia 256AV also comes in a variant (usually found on Dell and HP laptops) that works in Windows Sound System emulation mode, not in
AC'97 mode. That variant of the chip must be used with the wss(4) driver. The neo driver will not attach to such chips.
SEE ALSO
ac97(4), audio(4), intro(4), midi(4), pci(4), wss(4)
HISTORY
The neo device driver appeared in NetBSD 1.5.1.
BUGS
The MagicMedia 256 series is not well-documented.
No MIDI or FM synthesizer capability is provided with the MagicMedia 256 in AC'97 mode. While those capabilities are provided by the Windows
driver for the chip, they are emulated by the Windows driver, and not directly supported by the hardware.
