Miles AIL 2.0, MIDPAK, AIL/32 and Miles Sound System offer Tandy 3-voice internal speaker driver. However, while AIL/32 (A32TANDY.DLL) allows playback in Dosbox with any machine settings, other drivers (TANDY.ADV for AIL 2.0/MIDPAK and TANDY.MDI for MSS 3.0+) require 'machine=tandy' Dosbox setting which is really inconvenient due to video restrictions.
I've patched these drivers to get rid of Tandy BIOS check; now they work, provided that Tandy emulation is turned on in sound section ('tandy=on').
Use TANDY.ADV for AIL 2.0 and DIGPAK/MIDPAK games, TANDY.MDI for MSS 3.0+ games. Do not expect much though, since it's only 3-voice synthesis and many of MIDI files won't play correctly.
