SOUND BLASTER 2.0 LATEST INFORMATION
=====================================
1. Running Sound Blaster 2.0 programs from floppy disk
Sound Blaster 2.0 software works on both hard disk and floppy disk.
Although a hard disk is recommended for installation, you may still
be able to run the programs from floppy disk, as most of the executable
files are not compressed. Only some of the data files on the
distribution diskettes are compressed to conserve disk space. You have
to expand the compressed files before you can use them. Run CLZX.COM to
decompress those files.

3. Tetra Demo program
The TETRA program that comes together with the Sound Blaster 2.0
software package is a demo version. To run this program, you need to
have at least an IBM PC/AT machine and an EGA graphics adaptor. The
interrupt setting is selectable between 2, 3 or 7. The DMA channel used
is channel 1.
The complete TETRA package is sold separately. Please contact us or
your nearest distributor for ordering information.
4. SOUND and BLASTER Environment variables
INST-HD.EXE automatically inserts the SOUND and BLASTER environment
settings into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
5. Maximum sampling rates for packed voice files
Sound Blaster 2.0 implements some compression schemes for voice
files. These allow space-savings of 2, 3 or 4 times, depending on the
scheme used (2:1, 3:1 or 4:1 compression, respectively). This diversity
in compression schemes results in different maximum sampling rates for
each scheme. The valid sampling rates are as follows:
8-bit (uncompressed) 4 KHz - 44.1 KHz
2:1 compression 4 KHz - 12 KHz
3:1 compression 4 KHz - 13 KHz
4:1 compression 4 KHz - 11 KHz
As a result of these limits, you cannot pack voice files that have
sampling rates outside these bounds. Attempting to do so will cause the
VOXKIT program to generate a "file cannot be packed" error.
