disabled isa pnp for isa slot, and now it seems to stay on my Settings.
Can you put the pnp setting back as it was and try "iwinit -v9 -legacy > iwinit.txt", then post both IW.INI and IWINIT.TXT (or send them to me privately, if you prefer)? If you're willing to help with this, it would be nice to figure out where this is coming from, and maybe put together a modified IWINIT to get around the problem. I don't have a machine that has this problem, so testing may be somewhat tedious if the problem isn't immediately obvious.

Often enough, the LPT IRQ isn't used. Also, I don't think it will cause too many problems, especially if you don't usually print (or use other parallel-port devices that need the IRQ) while IWSBOS/Mega-Em is loaded.
Unless there is some condition that requires a separate IRQ for the emulation, you can usually use the same value for both IRQ settings.

In most cases, IWSBOS produces better sound than Mega-Em for FM emulation. Of course, that usually just means that it is a little less likely to make your ears bleed. It is not anything that can be described as authentic OPL2 sound.

Appreciate you taking a look. Agreed, let's get the perfect fit. I'm of the same mindset. I'll be standing by.
The Tariffs are an unfortunate turn of events beyond our control. It reminds me of that scene in 2010: The Year We Make Contact where doctor Floyd and the Russian Commander have an exchange:
"Listen, just because our governments are behaving like asses doesn't mean we have to. We're supposed to be scientists, not politicians."
I'm sure we can all find the answer.
It's just a question of finding the most economical option (and not paying the tariffs if we don't have to). Even without the tariffs, if shock__ agrees, and wants to ship them with the cards, it would likely be less expensive (from the standpoint of brokerage, import fees, etc.) to have them made in an E.U. country. It could also be that production in China is so much cheaper that, even with the fees, it makes sense to do it there.
There are a few European companies that do that sort of work. If they don't charge exorbitant tooling/engineering fees, that could be worth looking into. There is even a German company, with production in Germany, so maybe someone who speaks the language fluently can give them a poke at some point, to see what their rates are like. I won't mention them by name until/unless we have a fluent volunteer.
Of course, it could also be that shock__ will want absolutely no part of this. Then we'll have to figure out another way to handle distribution of the brackets.
