IBM 300PL sound&graphics card wrong


hello there. i do have an old machine IBM 300PL. Unfortunately i cannot find out what sound and graphic card does it have, so i could update the appropriate software. At the moment there is no sound, and the screen resolution is very low. Any ideas?

Talking ibm 300 pl

i am currently using the
fb0: VGA16 VGA frame buffer device
which is only giving me 800 X 600 (i believe)

the sound card driver you need is the allegro (forget exactly the official name...something
like ibm allegro

hope this helps. if you have any idea how to network two computers!!!
i can ping and telnet, but would like to graphically move files between.

email specifications

i can email you the specifications if you want (this is the ibm machine specs from their site) or if you browse through ibm.com, they have their specs for download as pdf file (don't ask me where to browse to... its not easy to find (or it wasn't for me).

apparently when i do lspci i can not see the audio card. Unless it is something else. the audio card is onboard and it works fine under windows. so it is there. here is what it comes when i do lspci:
debian:~# lspci
