Hey guys I got two of these ESS AudioDrive ES1868F cards and was playing around with them last night.
Firstly they work really well. The seem to be SB Pro compatible.
I do have a driver disk which includes CWDINIT.EXE to initialise the card.
However I found that the card works even without running this application.
Anway the card has a Gameport / Midi port. When I run CWDINIT.EXE I get confirmation about the resources. It's the ususal 220 / 5 / 1 for Soundblaster cards but it doesn't say anything about 330 or game / midiport.
So I got my joystick to midi cable, hooked up a Roland module, started a game and the Roland plays fine.
So how do I disable the midi port (I would like to use a Roland MPU401 card and not have a conflict).
There are no jumpers on this card whatsoever.
I started CWDINIT.EXE with the /? option and I do get a heap of settings but nothing to disable the Gameport / Midi port.
Maybe my drivers disc is missing a configuration utility.
