AUDIODD
=======
AUDIODD device drivers are used by amongst others CD-ROM applications like
almanac, CD-ROM encyclopedia, and other IBM EDUQUEST supported products.
INSTALLING AUDIODD DEVICE DRIVERS
=================================
To use the driver, copy SBXXX.SYS (SBXXX.SYS being one of the drivers listed
above) into the C:\ root directory, and ensure the following line exist in
the CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=C:\SBXXX.SYS audio [dma] int ioaddr bufsize
where
audio = AUDIO device number (usually 1)
dma = DMA channel used by the SB card (using 1) (not applicable to
non-SB PRO drivers)
int = interrupt level used by the SB card (usually 5 or 7)
ioaddr = i/o address used by the SB card (usually 220)
bufsize = i/o buffer size in kilobytes (usually 4)
and REBOOT the computer.
Hence,
DEVICE=C:\SBP2D2.SYS 1 1 7 220 4
This assumes that the Sound Blaster Pro OPL/3 card is set at DMA=1, IRQ=7,
I/O=220, buffer size of 4k, and addressed as device AUDIO1$.
Or,
DEVICE=C:\SBD2.SYS 1 5 220 4
This assumes that the Sound Blaster card is set at IRQ=5, I/O=220, buffer size
of 4k, and addressed as device AUDIO1$. Notice that the DMA channel parameter
is missing. This is because DMA channel is fixed at 1 for non-SB PRO cards.
