I'm trying to figure out how to use a real MT-32 with my SB AWE32. I've been reading about the various commands to put in my autoexec.bat using the AWEUTIL, but I think I'm getting confused. I thought that the AWEUTIL /EM command enabled you to use a MT-32 unit with the card, but the more I read I think this is actually enabling the crappy MT-32 emulation that the card itself provides (correct me if I'm wrong). So my question is, what commands do I need to use if I want to use an actual MT-32 until hooked up to the gameport of the AWE-32 card? Right now this is what I have:
set sound=c:\SB16
set blaster=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6
set midi=synth:2 map:G mode:2
C:\sb16\diagnose /s
C:\sb16\aweutil /s
c:\sb16\mixerset /p /q
Will this enable games to see the MT-32 unit or do I need to run another command? I think the key command here is SET MIDI. Also, will using any of these commands conflict with the DOS extenders that certain programs use, or is that just if you use the /EM emulation?
