My Toshiba Satellite Pro 4200 got a Yamaha YMF744B PCI audio controller, in the SETUPDS initialization utility I'm configured it to use PC/PCI as DMA mode and ISA as IRQ mode.

Hi Kamerat Is this the solution that resolves the issue that the dos initialize tool has (SETUPDS.EXE) when it can't find the sound blaster address? I have an intel g31 motherboard (Intel DG31PR) with the ich7 southbridge, setupds outputs an error: "can't detect sound blaster at 220" but the fm …

... BTW, what does that CS4xxx file do? When I run it, it adds some additional support to the card and the verbose dos texts talks like it's relocating memory and loading gaming profiles (whatever that means). I'm just curious what it's doing under the hood because that may shed some light on why …

Unfortunately the CCLS ISA DMA emulation seems quite unpredictable, with the Santa Cruz your better off with a motherboard that supports DDMA. For Doom you might want to try out an older version or the MBF release.

I created a package with all the tools and a batch file for initializing the Santa Cruz under MS-DOS on VIA VT8233 chipsets (and newer?). TBCDOS.EXE sets the blaster variable by itself.

Thanks that's awesome! The PC has this board (https://www.asrock.com/mb/via/k7vm3/) so a VIA chipset and a Barton Core 2600+ AMD processor. Can I assume from the sparsity of the files in the download that I merely need to boot to DOS and then run the exe file with the correct switches? Or is it …

I got an AWE64D sound card which uses the same codec as some of the Live! cards, the Creative CT1297-TAT. The problem is that under DOS the card is completely mute and I think that's because the codec hasn't been initialized and I haven't found any tool for doing that. Unfortunately the AWE64D/ …
