Dear Members,

I recently got myself a Pocket 386 machine. It features an OPL3 (Yamaha YMF262) sound chip.
My question would be, where I could find a driver for this sound chip for DOS.
During my googling I found this driver Re: OPL3-SAX in DOS but will that work with the chip I have in my Pocket 386?
Has any of you perhaps a better suggestion?

Thanks in advance!
János

U dont need any drivers for OPL3 in DOS

Need help? Begin with photo and model of your hardware 😉

Oh, thanks. Nice to hear.
Any other steps I need to make it work?
Or do I just need to run setup.exe for the different games I want to play, to set up the sound settings, and that's it?
