I have ported TB Multisound Classic Audio Interface Library driver to Miles Sound System.
In theory, that would allow this beautiful 4 Mb Proteus-based soundcard to be used in many DOS games. But currently I have no access to the card, so the driver is untested yet. If there are any owners, you're welcome to test. Only Multisound Classic card is supported, no Tahiti/Monterey/Pinnacle/Fiji cards.
Note two things:
1) TB Multisound must be initialized and MPP bank loaded prior to usage;
2) It doesn't use DMA, but SMA (Shared Memory Address) instead. By default, it's 0D000h. If your card is not at default settings, you have to set the driver up in SETSOUND.EXE. Instead of DMA, you have to provide your SMA converted to decimal value. If, for example, your card has its SMA set at 0B800h, you need to enter 47104 into DMA field, whatever weird it would seem at first.
Default settings of this driver are:
I/O: 290h
IRQ: 10
SMA: 0D000h
The driver (MULTISND.MDI) and preset loading utilities are attached. For list of Miles Sound System compatible games, look here.
