did you make use of configuration/diagnostic software that came with the device?

Do you have parallel port on your laptop ?
I'm working on a parallel port adlib card : OPL2LPT : with a real OPL2 chip :
see this demo : https://youtu.be/GbPPHvGpPEc
and this thread : OPL2LPT

I've been considering a serial port version of and OPL2 board,
but parallel port is faster, more suitable for this.

Yes, I installed the configuration tools and tried also to tweak it manually as described in the documents, no success.
Haven't seen any diagnostic software there in the package, maybe I try to search it.

I saw your topic, that's really cool what you are doing! Yes, I do have a parallel port, but then I also need physical hardware and you don't have any software net. If I'm able to get the the hardware and the software, it would be really nice.

I'd really love to see your software having also serial port support, I guess when everything is there isn't not difficult to add (I can also help if needed, I'm a software developer).

Though I'm not sure how compatible is Adlib/SB with MIDI, but somehow Dosbox does emulate it, maybe some code can be reused. I'm amazed how easily MT-32 and GM support works with serial connection, so I don't see why Adlib wouldn't work with the same efficiency, just a matter of putting these things together.

I bought a Panasonic KXL-D745 CD-ROM & sound card device, which is supposed to be Adlib compatible. No luck in setting it up, not sure if the device is faulty, or I just don't know how to properly set it up. The PCMCIA card is identified, but neither Adlib is visible nor SCSI CD-ROM drive. I would appreciate to hear any ideas how to make it work.

What OS are you using?
What is the card identified as?

This is what I see when card services start:
Card: KME KXLC101
Device: [Not in use]

Using DOS (and Win3.11). I am considering installing Win95 just to see if I could make it work there, to see if the device works, had no time yet.

I will also try to test it on another machine with PCMCIA.

More questions, what's in your config.sys, what does the driver output (if anything) , and what PCMCIA chipset does your laptop have?

Do you actually have the Card and Socket Services installed? If so, which card manager are you using?

Thank you for trying to help, I'll get back with the answers later, when I have time to do it, probably during the weekend, this week was a bit too busy 😀

Yes, I do have these installed, the driver package that I'm using is called CardWare, not sure if it is enough to understand which card manager it is. I'll get back with more details when I have time to get my hand on the computer.
