Hi,
I have a machine set up with a CT2960 Vibra 16. I really don't like the OPL emulation that the Vibra chip implements, and I'd rather have another card with a genuine OPL for that. We're talking Windows 98 for now.
I have tried three different solutions: YMF718-based ISA card, YMF740-based PCI card and an OPTi 82C929-based card with a genuine OPL chip.
The OPTi-based solution failed because the Vibra Card will only work in some ass-backwards I/O configuration (A260 I9 D3) or it will fail to start the driver. On top of that the OPL3 on that card will only work with some applications, HSC and ADtrack fail to see it while most games do...
I just cannot get the Vibra card to give up the 0x388 I/O. Even if i set a PnP-Configuration that doesn't even list I/O for the OPL in the device manager, it will still respond to 0x388 even though another card has that I/O port mapped to itself.
I'm stuck here. Any ideas?
