Hello everybody,
i am new here and have a question about how to configure an old ISA ESS 1688F Soundcard in DOS.
The card is a NON PNP ISA card and has many jumpers on it.
I configured it as below:
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P300
With this settings i get sound with dos games but for a few games i miss something there.
I don't have a manual or something else so i don't know the commands to configure SYNTH (MIDI) or the Joystick
The MIDI works only through the Joystickport and is ENABLED on card. Windows 98 SE find the MIDI or MPU-401.
For a better explain i will give you an example:
If i try to setup "Eye of the Beholder 3" under DOS then i get an error about a missing DSP and i can't get it to work. The EOB3-Setup won't let me setup the sound. Every card i choose don't work.
Now i try exact the same SETUP with Windows 98SE in a Dos-Window and now i the EOB3-Setup finds a card with DSP if i choose "Soundblaster Pro/SB16" and i can successfull ends the setup.
If i reboot the pc and boot into dos the the game has full sound.
Does anybody knows the exact entry for the AUTOEXEC.BAT?
AND
How do i setup the MPU-401?
best regards from germany 😀
