"no device at all" was the key. Thanks to your suggestion, I
carefully rechecked my isapnp.conf settings, then ran isapnp to

... ew embarrassing - my 6.3 partition had no isapnp package

After installing from series ap on the CD all is plain sailing and I
am now happily listening to mp3 's (though midi is very ropey.)

Thank you, proc
