1. We are including drivers that make use of Device Virtualization. These
drivers will allow DOS Apps that use the SoundBlaster to run in Enhanced
Mode.
Please make sure that the line reading "device=vsbpd.386" under the
[386Enh] section in your SYSTEM.INI is correct. If it reads
"device=vsbd.386", simply change it to read "device=vsbpd.386". Make
sure the file is in your Windows SYSTEM directory. If it is not, copy it
from the Drivers Disk.
2. A MIDI-MAP has been created to make use of SBFM.DRV, please use the MIDI
MAPPER icon under Control Panel to customize it to your requirements.
Under Windows v3.1, MIDI channel 10 is referenced as the drum channel.
If you are having problems with the FM synth not sounding "right", try
modifying the configuration with the MIDI Mapper.
The following is a list of the existing MIDI Map configurations and how
they are mapped:
