that's the message i now get on bootup, when loading a soundfont for dos before 98 loads. I think I have changed something and cannot get it to go right. It's says it tries to reconfigure, cant, then reconfigures all isa cards, and tells: "the [pnp] synth needs resources!".
It does load the firmware now. i forget - is it supposed to do that every boot? i thought it just loaded the soundfont file previously.
once I'm in 98, the card works. I have exited to dos and used ews64cfg, removed the devices in 98 and let windows redetect, reinstalled asio drivers, removed devices again, etc.
any ideas?
no conflicts in device manager. using 2 irq's, one for the synth [well, it gets used for sb pro emulation anyway] and one for midi-1. midi-2, a db50xg, i left without an irq.
i tried reserving the irq's and dma's in bios, with or without pnp os. and also tried it with resources done automatically.
[this mess was possibly caused by inadvertently reconfiguring the card when trying to use it elsewhere].
system is:
k6/3 450 in ga5ax, 256mb ram
ews64xl with db50xg
could anyone who has one of these cards advise please?
