Hi there!

I really want to drop on a single thread everything i've done for AIL2 and DIGPAK.

The following hardware now has support via digital driver on AIL2 and DIGPAK

- Windows Sound System;
- Ensoniq Soundscape;
- Roland RAP-10;

Drivers for AIL2:

The attachment WSSDIG.7z is no longer available
The attachment SCAPEDIG.7z is no longer available
The attachment RAPDIG.7z is no longer available

The Roland driver is still not very good, some samples on some games are a bit noisy.

Drivers for DIGPAK:

The attachment WSS.7z is no longer available
The attachment SSCAPE.7z is no longer available

continued, only 5 attachments per post:

The attachment RAP10.7z is no longer available

Music drivers for AIL2 / MIDPAK

The attachment music.zip is no longer available

The music drivers include:

Tandy 3 voice on a 2 byte port, current driver is set for port 1E0h.
Tandy 3 voice for the TNDLPT serdaco parallel port device
Mindscape Music Board with 6 voices (no rhythm channel)
CMS / Gameblaster (a hack of Tronix driver to ignore the rhythm notes)

Ignoring the rhythm notes was necessary otherwise the tunes will sound weird.

First AIL2 / MIDPAK compatible driver for the IBM Music Feature Card is here:

The attachment IMFC.7z is no longer available

Tested with Guilty and Legend of Kyrandia (more tuning bias towards Kyrandia). Driver IO default is at 2A40h, so if you want to try it with DOSBox Staging or 86Box keep that in mind. Just hex edit 40 2A to 20 2A.

Sounds...pretty decent actually!
