UPDATE:
I just ran AWE64 DOS based diagnose utility, and it fails at setting IRQ 5 to my card. I even moved the Adaptec to a different PCI slot, and it did not help.

UPDATE2:
I think I have isolated and fixed the issue, went into the BIOS, and under the Resources Controlled By, changed it from Auto to Manual, and under IRQ 5, changed it to Legacy ISA for my AWE64.

Upon a reboot, I no longer get the SoftMPU error message, and when I also run AWE64 DOS diagnose utility, no conflict is reported.

Do the same for DMA 1 and 5, just in case.

Also, "PNP OS Installed" should probably be "NO" when only running DOS without Windows.

I use SYSTEM COMMANDER 2000 to boot into multiple OS, DOS 7.1 being of them.

A question regarding a ymf744 card.
The card works fine in DDMA mode together with a SIS963 Southbrige. But as soon as I start SoftMPU, the system freezes.

Any ideas?

General question. I got myself a Music Quest MIDIEngine 2Port/SE (Parallel port) yesterday and I'm wondering if it's possible to use SoftMPU with it or not really? If it's not possible, let me know.
