Yes, but the echoed messages sound like simple information, not like a warning ( I mean there is no emphasis on that you actually have to use another ecw file for normal Midi operation).
The messages do not tell you that if you experience Midi playback problems it's because of the included DEFAULT.ECW.
As a compromise 😀 :
ECHO The default ECW wavetable file "DEFAULT.ECW" is a copy of "DOSTEST.ECW".
ECHO This means it contains only piano and no drum kits at all.
ECHO If you want to use Midi you should use another ECW wavetable file.
ECHO Find one and replace the default wavetable file "C:\SBA2ZS\DEFAULT.ECW" keeping the name "DEFAULT.ECW".
I'll change the message, which is related to limited default wavetable file, to this:
...
ECHO ATTENTION!!!
ECHO In order to work properly the driver needs EMM386 or another DOS memory manager!
ECHO.
ECHO The default ECW wavetable file "DEFAULT.ECW" is a copy of "DOSTEST.ECW".
ECHO This means that it only contains very limited MIDI instrument sets.
ECHO If you want to use more of MIDI capabilities of your SB Audigy 2 ZS in pure DOS,
ECHO you have to use another ECW wavetable file!
ECHO Find yourself a suitable ECW wavetable file (i.e. "EAPCI8M.ECW")
ECHO and replace the default wavetable file "C:\SBA2ZS\DEFAULT.ECW",
ECHO keeping the name "DEFAULT.ECW"!!!
ECHO.
ECHO REBOOT THE SYSTEM NOW TO LOAD THE DRIVER!!!
ECHO.
ECHO You can then check the audio with "C:\SBA2ZS\SBEGO.EXE".
...
What do you think about that? Is it clear enough?
P.S. Silence is sign for acceptance.
