When I got a SCB-55 DB card, I threw away the floppy disks thinking I wouldn't need them. All I want is to stick the thing on a sound card, and listen to DOS game music. Why keep the disks, I thought.

Well, I'm curious now I've thrown away the disks. What's on them? Just software for musicians?

Cheers.

Two interesting things I found on those disks, a different GS_Reset MIDI file, & another mode changing MIDI file named "GM_ON", which I'm guessing shuts down the GS part of the card and has it run in just pure GM mode. I can't say for sure, I don't know much about MIDI beyond its use for DOS gaming music. I've attached the files if someone here can give us a better idea of what is different about this GS_Reset, and what the GM_ON actually does.
