Hey jiraf,
ok problem #1: E0C is not a valid soundblaster port address... usually this value would be 220, or either 240 or 260...
(possible) problem #2: change the I05 to I5 on the set blaster line
Ok, i just did some searching on google and found out the following info:
- the card is probably an ISA (P&P) card.
- it should be able to do soundblaster Pro emulation.
- it seems to have an mpu401 midi port on the card.
Try the following:
1] change your SET BLASTER line to the following:
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H3 P380
2] in hardware.cfg, choose soundcard mode 3 (mpu-401 only) and see if converter can initialize the mpu-401 port which should be on your soundcard
3] if that doesn't work, change your mpu-401 port to 330 or 300 - in other words:
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H3 P330
4] if converter sucessfully loads, and you see the graphics etc, then the mpu-401 port has been successfully initialized. Otherwise, you have the wrong port address in the Pxxx part of SET BLASTER, or the soundcard doesn't have a hardware MPU-401 port and needs a dos driver to emulate it (again, having some sort of manufacturer's documentation on the soundcard is useful here)
5] If soundblaster mpu-401 mode has worked, go back into hardware.cfg and try soundcard mode 6, to see if converter can initialize your soundcard as a soundblaster. Remember to use a valid soundblaster port address, such as:
SET BLASTER=A220 ... ...
or
SET BLASTER=A240 ... ...
etc.
6] If this doesn't work, try to locate dos drivers for your card...
Hope this helps!
If you are able to make this card work, please drop a note here to let me know!
Best of luck,
tom
