Hi All

I am a proud owner of a T5200 that I would like to use in combination with a soundblaster 32 to relive my early days using this card and to use my old soundfont 2 files.

My T5200 after the ordered parts arrive will have:
- 4MB Ram
- 100 MB Ram
- working floppy disk (26 to 34 pin adapter on the way)
- hopefully a working parallel port for LLPRO/Interlnk.exe
-TX486DLC-40
-IIT4C87DLC-40
- Soundblaster 32 CT3600 with 8MB

My questions:
- Does someone knows how I can disable the onboard parallel port so that I can use a 8 bit isa parallel card as LPT1 (don’t want to use an extra IRQ, needed for the soundblaster) ?
Or is their another reason I can not succesfully use this port (also tried bi-directional in bios) with LLPRO/Interlink (serial works but is slow) ?
- Becuase using soundfont 2 (.sf2) soundbanks requires the use of Win95; will this run okay with the cpu/fpu upgrade and the 4MB that I have now or should I do the Ram upgrade as described on this site ?
- Is there a way to load soundfont 2 files in the soundblaster 32 under msdos/win3.1 ? (Am afraid this is not possible or use the rename .sf2 to .sbk trick which is buggy)

Friendly greeting,

Kevin
