will I be able to do it ?

Hello,

I read some of the messages(by neo and PTx) in your forum.I was looking for info on how to get started,and now I feel like this is more than I can handle.

Its not because I dont have the will to read and learn,but I dont know if I have the environment that will help me learn stuff at the levels that you are at.Can I use my PC for this or do I have to get better machines.And I dont know if it is too late to start.

There is no one I know of in similar fields who may be able to help and guide me,and the only other way is certified courses.And I dont have a clue as to which I should take.

All I know now is MS/Networking,I have got my degree in engineering and I know C programming.I havent used it in any real applications or anything,just learned it well in college.

I would seriously like to start learning now and I would be grateful for any help or advice you can give.

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.
