Simple, probably silly, question -- when you say "MPU-401" does that include wavetable headers? On SB16-like cards (that's the only family of cards requiring FixMPU), the wavetable header and the gameport MIDI output share the same signal. So everything that influences MIDI output always applies to …

Has anyone been able to get stuff working through this that requires quicktime libraries to be installed? I have a few old games that work like that -- the old ImageSoft Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy games in particular are ones I've tried to install and failed.

Unfortunately the installer didn't seem to work quite right. I'm not sure the 3dx sound card has DOS sound drivers at all from what I've seen, since that installer didn't actually change anything on the DOS side. I didn't expect full DOS compatibility from a Pentium II without a turbo button anyway, …

Ah. That might be likely. I don't know if NeoMagic even has DOS drivers for their sound stuff -- I just installed the Win 98 drivers using the Device Manager in 98. But I might mess around some more to see if I can find a solution. Thanks for your help! Might just mean I can't really use the laptop …

By EMS Mode, do you mean DOS Mode? If so, then maybe you don't have DOS drivers for the sound card installed. Right. I was able to run other stuff from the DOS prompt in Windows, but to my knowledge there's no way to do that with stuff that requires EMS mode; those have to be loaded in DOS mode …

So I picked up a Gateway Solo 2500 a month or so ago after the LGR video on the stuff. Took some finagling but I eventually managed to get everything set up driver-wise, and now most stuff runs pretty well. At least stuff that doesn't use the EMS mode. For the record, the soundhardware is the …
