For sound I had to run
@unimix.exe -id3 -cnt0 -val1 > nul
@unimix.exe -id3 -cnt1 -val1 > nul

Paul has a fixed version of UniAud that doesn't require unimix to activate 
sound.  I have mentioned this before in feedback, but apparently they never 
changed it.

Major problem I ran into with RC7 was trying to install the wireless driver 
for my Intel 3945 a/b/g (Intel 8086:4227).  During the initial install it 
only found the wired Intel 10/100/1000 (Intel 8086:1049), and I just left 
that even though I don't use it.   When I had tried changing it under the 
older testteam RC7 Protocol.ini had no hardware data.  But the same 
happened (no hardware data found in protocol.ini) with leaving the default 
wired driver on this new RC7 install.

I initially used MPTS to add the 3945, copying the driver from ibmcom\macs 
on my working RC6 partition.  On reboot there was no xwlan widget in 
ecenter.  I had to copy it from my RC6 partition.  But xwlan then showed 
that no wireless driver was installed even though GenMac loaded without 
error.  Finally used the Selective Install for Networking and reinstalled 
networking and now wireless works.  Has anyone else seen this?
