So the year is 1997, and you have an Aptiva 2159-S76 (200mhz, etc.) with an ISA MWAVE Dolphin adapter. You have the recovery CD, but no diagnostics CD. You even even have the full set of MIDI samples. The offical IBM drivers for version 20E install perfect but the MIDI driver refuses to be loaded, so playback of MIDI is not possible. The MIDI samples were not too bad, considering. Unless the diagnostics CD shows up, it will not work properly.
Then you ask yourself...what is the best replacement card for this unit? You also wish to find a card that embodies the sample playback nature of the MWAVE and still allow for playback through Audiostation...to keep it authentic of course. I know that the next chipset IBM used after MWAVE was the Crystal CS4232.
