The miro PCM10 sound card originally came with a driver disk for DOS and WIndows 3.1, but this is nowhere to be found. All resources that are still online only provide drivers for DOS/Win95 and Windows NT. I have reverted my socket 5 / Pentium 75 system from Windows 95 to Windows 3.11 and now I need that disk to use all features of the card (especially the OPL4). It seems the drivers for the Audiotrix Pro can be used as well, but these are nowhere to be found either...

So, anyone having a copy of the miro PCM10 driver disk for Windows 3.1?

No one owning this card and the set of floppys it came with?

I tried installing the opl4.drv from the Audiotrix Pro, which kind of worked after making my own oemsetup.inf. It shows up in the control panel, I can configure it and all, but the MIDI mapper can not use it for whatever reason. 🙁

I'm sorry, I had got a generic OPL4 card for a while, but had to sell it again not much later on. 🙁
From what I know, the AudioTrix Pro was kinda special, since it provided Sample RAM to the OPL4.
MOD4WIN was among one of the few programs that made use of it.
Speaking of MOD4WIn, it's help file mentioned another, incompatible OPL4 card (Logitech SoundMan ?).
Maybe that one's OPL4 driver is better suited for your card, dunno.

The OPL4 of the AudioTrix Pro works just like with any other card. I can use the DOS software of the AudioTrix Pro just fine. I think the OPL4 driver does not work since I only found the single file "opl4.drv", which is probably not enough to get it working in Windows 3.1.

Got it working in the meantime by manually creating a MIDI map.
