In the whole time I used to run DOS and Windows 3.1 (ages ago), I always ran the Creative Labs drivers and never knew Windows shipped with them. Yes, the Windows-bundled SB driver installs correctly in DOSEMU, and if you also install the MPU-401 driver, two-way MIDI communication with hardware on the Linux host works! This was very important for me, since Wine is unable to provide working MIDI for 16-bit apps (an old deficiency they may never get around to fixing), and true virtual machines like QEMU don't provide a way to get SoundBlaster MIDI i/o outside the VM on the host's hardware. DOSEMU wins again... (Addendum: Actually, if you just want SoundBlaster MIDI i/o from bare DOS in QEMU, SoftMPU is a TSR that can divert the i/o to a COM port, where you can pick it up in QEMU's serial port emulation. That trick only works in straight DOS though, and doesn't help for WIN16 stuff.) -- - Brent Busby + =============================================== + "The introduction of a new kind of music must -- Studio -- + be shunned as imperiling the whole state, for -- Amadeus/ -- + styles of music are never disturbed without -- Keycorner -- + without affecting the most important political -- Recording -- + institutions." --Plato, "Republic" ----------------+ ===============================================
