+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ess
+.Nd ESS Technology AudioDrive family audio device driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.\" .Cd "ess0   at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 drq2 5"
+.Cd "ess*   at isapnp?"
+.\" .Cd "ess*   at ofisa?"
+.Cd "audio* at ess?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for the ESS 1788, 1888, 1887, and 888 AudioDrive 
+audio devices.
+.Pp
+The AudioDrive 1788 is a half-duplex device, while the 1888, 1887, and
+888 are full-duplex. All are capable of 8- and 16-bit audio sample
+recording and playback at rates up to 44.1kHz.
+.Pp
+The AudioDrive takes 16 I/O ports. The I/O port range, IRQ, and DRQ
+channels are set by the driver to the vaues specified in the
+configuration file (or for isapnp or ofisa, the values assigned from
+the firmware). The I/O port base must be one of 0x220, 0x230, 0x240,
+0x250. The IRQ must be one of 5, 7, 9, 10 (or 15 on the 1887
+only). The first DRQ channel must be selected from 0, 1, 3. The second
+DRQ channel (used for playback by the full-duplex 1888/1887, ignored
+by the 1788) can additionally be set to 5. If both DRQ channels are
+used they must be different.
+.Pp
+The joystick interface (if enabled) is handled by the
+.Xr joy 4
+driver. 
+.Sh BUGS
+The AudioDrive devices have a SoundBlaster compatibility mode, and may
+be detected by the SoundBlaster driver (see 
+.Xr sb 4 )  
+rather than the AudioDrive driver. The workaround is to remove the
+SoundBlaster driver from the kernel configuration.
