Very cool, I'll check it out. However, I should note that I've always been able to initialize vapimpu.com as long as :
1. the version number was appropriate
Version of vapimpu.com?
I've successfully used versions 1.26 and 1.33. Vesion 1.51 didn't work even with the IRQ flag. I'm eager to try your improved code: I just received a report from another DOSemu + Sequencer Plus user who states that the SAPI drive also loads correctly. IIRC that driver is supposed to access the OPL3 soundchip but he says he can't get it working correctly on his laptop. I think it's probably a hardware problem, or perhaps he needs to invoke a command-line flag when he loads the driver.
Can you cite where I've referred to using the PC-speaker driver
Well, I might be confusing something, but I thought you have some relations with www.linux-sound.org, haven't you? If so, here is a quote: --- PC Speaker PC Speaker Driver old driver from Humboldt University in Berlin PC Speaker Driver Patch from Erik Inge Bolso --- If you have nothing to do with that site then I might have confused you with someone else.
Ah, I see what you're talking about now. I thought you were referring to those links in the context of DOSemu. So you have an improved speaker driver available ? Tell me where it's located and I'll gladly add a link to it. (Yes, linux-sound.org is mine).
Outstanding, that's most encouraging. I'm now using the FreeDOS package available from dosemu.org, but I don't find setver in its bin directory.
setver doesn't matter in that case as FreeDOS is not supposed to work with Windows (probably any), this is from official sources. I tested with PC-DOS.
Can you recommend a version to use with FreeDOS ?
Version of what?
Setver. Never mind though, I did some searches and discovered that setver has been dropped from the FreeDOS development tree. I tried spoofing the version in the FreeDOS config.sys file (as the docs suggest) but it made no difference. See below...
If you have any version of M that doesn't require Windows to run, this version might be appropriate. Otherwise use MS-DOS or PC-DOS to run Windows.
Aha, so FreeDOS will not run Windows ? Okay, I'll see if I can access MS-DOS on another drive here, I think I still have it installed somewhere.
Thanks for the help, Stas. I'm very impressed with DOSemu's capabilities, particularly its audio and MIDI support. You're all doing a fantastic job !
Best regards,
Dave Phillips
