An Aptiva, makes much more sense now why you have mwave.  :-)

Most likely you are experiencing one of two problems (or both),
either the drivers are not quite compatible with your particular mwave card or
they are not quite compatible with the FreeDOS kernel.

>From http://freedos.sourceforge.net/laptops/ibm/760e.html
we know that at least the mwave drivers present in some thinkpads
are compatible with the FD kernel, it may simply be the wrong driver;
however there is note of a particular setup portion for mwave not
functioning (sadly no details) so perhaps you are seeing a related issue.
[Hopefully not, but it may also indicate a compatibility regression.]
You may want to compare your config/autoexec with the ones
listed here, I suspect the needed statements for mwave support will
be similar on an Aptiva.

If you have access to a MS/PC boot disk, you may want to try running
the mwave setup from there to see if that helps (once setup it may
run fine with the FD kernel).  Please let me know if everything works
when booting this but not FD or if once installed (using MS/PC kernel)
it works for FD kernel.

If you provide me with which model Aptiva you have, it might help me
to ensure you have the proper drivers.

thanks,
Jeremy

..(my PC is also an IBM Aptiva), but 
after reboot I've got the following error message: "MCB chain setup failed 
(or something like that), or MS-DOS incompatible system".

What it mean and can it be fixed?
