Is there anything like SoftMPU that can emulate Adlib (388-389h) and send data to serial port?
Some background:
I've got a laptop with only digital sound, no Adlib/MIDI (Windows Sound System (WSS) Adlib/SB16 compatibility on Zenith laptop). Trying to get music to this machine.
I bought a Panasonic KXL-D745 CD-ROM & sound card device, which is supposed to be Adlib compatible. No luck in setting it up, not sure if the device is faulty, or I just don't know how to properly set it up. The PCMCIA card is identified, but neither Adlib is visible nor SCSI CD-ROM drive. I would appreciate to hear any ideas how to make it work.
In the meanwhile, I am using SoftMPU to emulate MPU and send it to my Mac via serial port, where I'm using Munt to play MT-32 (tested with Wing Commander) or general MIDI synthesiser to play GM (works well at least with WarCraft II).
However, games can use only Adlib/SB are still mute 🙁
Any advice?
