You need to run 'pnpdump >isapnp.conf' and edit the file to set up this card (it's a Plug-and-Play card IIRC). Then run modconf and select 'OPL3-SA2' and 'OPL3'. You will have to enter some parameters for OPL3-SA2: io=nxnnn, mss_io=nxnnn, mpu_io=nxnnn, irq=nn, dma=nn, dma2=nn. For the OPL3 module, enter: io=nxnnn.
