Very weird... IRQ2 should be free on a 286 machine, is this a brand pc or a custom one? Does MSD or some other utility report IRQ2 as free? My money is on buggy detection from the demos since the real thing also fails. I also use an mpu with my 286/16 pc , it just works at irq2/p330 , I did not try …

I just tried with my SB1350B and a 486DLC (386DX) setup, when IT starts and reports the card it detected I get 3 clicks - maybe your p1 system being faster does that quicker and it sounds like a single click.

really interested in this , I only had resource conflicts with ACPI and systems pentium1 and above (and ofcourse the main soundcard hogging port330) but a 286 system? Something uses IRQ2 , could be the vga as stated above...

Hey guys, can anyone check please if Impulse Tracker 2.14 makes a single click on startup screen with SB 2.0 or any other old SB? I have a click and I logged it's communication with the card and found nothing fancy there - usual DSP resets, set time constant (0x40), turn speaker on (0xD1), set DMA …

yes you can yawetaG but what's even better is to have a card that already outputs 2 midi signals - that way you don't use THRU or separate devices. Just gives a little more freedom.
