- Comments:
- Tech support says no OS/2 drivers exist, and don't count on
them in the future, but that the board should work with SoundBlaster
drivers. Dave Jennings has written shareware drivers, but they don't
support the board's wavetable features, and I don't know how well DOS
and Windows programs are supported with these drivers. Dave says he's
not planning further development of his drivers, unfortunately, citing
technical difficulties getting adequate timing from OS/2. I've heard
that it's possible to get the MediaVision Jazz drivers that come with
OS/2 to work with this card by either doing a soft reboot from DOS
after running the DOS initialization software or by running this
software from an OS/2 DOS box. The IBM
MPU-401
driver reportedly does work with this board. I've seen another
report that a combination of the Jennings driver and the Jazz 16 driver,
each set for its own address, gets things working. The smwvol.exe
program (from the SOUNDMAN directory) can then be used in some way to
get it working. (Sorry if this is sketchy; that's all I've got.)
