well, in DOS you don't need any drivers, make sure that the card is set on port330/irq2 , connect the MT-32 (midi-OUT of the card to the midi-IN of mt-32) and see if a game like Monkey Island works (" monkey.exe r " to make it use roland)
You can even remove the AWE64 completely for the test... if it still does not work then there is a good chance this card is dead... 🙁
If you have the means try in another system too.

ps. I'll add this to Maulwurf's "vogons criminal record" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Like i thought with the drivers.
The card is already set to io330/irq2 and of course my MT-32 is connected correctly 😉
I also tried the card without any other cards in the system (even in another system with an Baby-AT board)
And i tried different games like Gateway, Simon 1+2, Monkey 1+2.
But everything failed.
So i really guess the card is broken. 🙁
Bummer.

that's bad...
just one last thought, you are using an old AT psu right? (just asking in rare case this card needs -5v thas is standard in AT psus but not on ATX ones...)

Yes, i had the card on an AT and an ATX PSU.

I bought such a card for 2 euros 3 yrs ago. Unfortunately, I do not have the software disk. Could you please send the driver to squallstrife to stock it up on vogonsdrivers ?
BTW, I put my card in a 486 DX4/100 and tried several games back then, but almost all of them sounded weird. Yes, the card could drive the MT-32 but somehow the instruments got mixed up. (Loom, Monkey Island 1, etc.) I tried to reset the MT-32 to no avail...

You still can get the Windows 3.11 drivers from Steinberg itself. Here's the FTP-Adress: ftp://ftp.steinberg.net/Archives/Hardware/pcmidi1/PC/

maybe this card is a windows-only one, maybe it only works with a loaded driver... it can't be a coincidence that 2 cards don't really work....?

Solarstorm,

thanks, I already had that driver. I hoped your original disk has other files, at least docs about MPU401 compatibility under DOS. Well, maybe the card was really intended as a win 3.1 device. I have never tried win 3.1 with it, I focused on DOS games only.

BTW, I suggest slowing down that P200 MMX by disabling L1 cache before you launch any of those oldies.

Ther's nothing else on the disk.
@keropi: The problem is Jolaes got something out of the card i only got crashes. So i guess my card is really broken.

i recently almost threw out my Winman 4x4/s thinking that it was also broken,
but it turned out it was indeed an irq/dma/base address conflict

i guess your post is from last year so my response is somewhat useless
except if u take into account anyone else surfing into this thread for their own purposes

what solved my problem was a combination of
-using dos software config apps to properly set the IRQ + TEST availability of any plug n play cards
-properly setting up bios options for Plug n play, in particular i didnt understand what PIRQ was until i realized it was for the pci slots on my board
and they are shared eqs.. a combination of setting these settings.. and moving my network card to a different pci slot
and then my midi *IN* works..
-ensuring DHCP was set to off in windows for workgroups (somehow it caused problems.. i think win3.1 uses an older version of the protocol)

dont throw out your cards!!!!!! irq/dma/base conflicts can be a real bitch
but its really satisfying when u overcome them;)
